The following table describes the variables for the ip pim command.
| Variable | Value |
|---|---|
|
disc-data-timeout <5-65535> |
Specifies the duration in seconds to discard data until the switch receives the join message from the rendezvous point (RP). An IP multicast discard record is created after a register packet is sent, until the timer expires or the switch receives a join message. The default value is 60. |
|
bootstrap-period |
Specifies the interval (in seconds) that the elected BSR waits between originating bootstrap messages. The range is from 5–32757 and the default is 60 seconds. |
|
enable |
Enables PIM globally on the switch. The default is disabled. |
|
fast-joinprune |
Enables or disables the PIM fast join prune feature. |
|
fwd-cache-timeout <10-86400> |
Specifies the forward cache timeout value. The default value is 120. |
|
join-prune-interval <1-18724> |
Specifies the duration in seconds before the PIM router sends out the next join or prune message to its upstream neighbors. The default value is 60. |
|
mode <sparse> <ssm> |
Configures PIM mode on the switch. The default value is sparse. |
|
register-suppression-timeout <10-65535> |
Specifies the duration in seconds the designated router (DR) suppresses sending registers to the RP. The timer starts after the DR receives a register-stop message from the RP. The default value is 60. |
|
rp-c-adv-timeout |
Specifies how often (in seconds) a router configured as a candidate rendezvous point router (C-RP) sends advertisement messages. After this timer expires, the C-RP router sends an advertisement message to the elected bootstrap router (BSR). The range is from 5–26214 and the default is 60 seconds. |
|
spt-infinite-threshold |
Enables PIM Infinite Threshold Policy for IPv4, so that multicast traffic follows the shared tree path through a Rendezvous Point (RP) instead of automatically switching over to shortest path tree (SPT). The default is disabled. |
|
static-rp |
Enables or disables the static RP feature. You can use static RP to configure a static entry for an RP. A static RP permits communication with switches from other vendors that do not use the BSR mechanism. |
|
unicast-route-change-timeout <2-65535> |
Specifies the duration in seconds the switch polls the RTM for unicast routing information updates for PIM. The default value is 5. |
|
virtual-neighbor |
Specifies to enter virtual neighbor IP to an interface globally. |
