no ip pim ttl-threshold

Command Default

Parameters

priority value
Specifies the TTL threshold value. The range is 1 to 64.

Interface configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

The TTL threshold defines the minimum value required in a packet for it to be forwarded out of the interface after the TTL has been decremented.

For example, if the TTL for an interface is set at 10, only those packets that enter with a TTL value of 11 or more are forwarded through the TTL-10 interface. With a default TTL threshold of 1, only packets ingressing with a TTL of 2 or greater are forwarded. The TTL threshold only applies to routed interfaces and is ignored by switched interfaces. Possible TTL values are 1 to 64. The default TTL value is 1.

The no form of the command restores the default TTL threshold 1.

Examples

The following example sets the TTL value.

device(config)# interface ethernet 1/1
device(config-if-eth-1/1)# ip pim ttl-threshold 50
