ipv6 pim ttl-threshold

Configures the Time to Live (TTL) threshold on an IPv6 PIM-enabled interface.

Syntax

ipv6 pim ttl-threshold threshold-value

no ipv6 pim ttl-threshold

Command Default

The default threshold value is 1.

Parameters

threshold-value: Valid values range from 1 through 64.

Modes

Interface configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

Important

Use the ipv6 router pim command to globally enable IPv6 PIM routing before configuring the TTL threshold.

As a packet is forwarded out of an interface, its TTL value is reduced. The TTL threshold is the smallest TTL value that a packet can have for an interface to forward it.

Important

An interface can have only one TTL threshold. You cannot configure different thresholds for IPv4 PIM and IPv6 PIM. The most recent configured value, whether for IPv4 PIM or IPv6 PIM, overwrites the previous value.

The no ipv6 pim ttl-threshold form of the command restores the default TTL of 1.

Examples

The following example configures the TTL threshold ton a virtual Ethernet (VE) interface.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# interface ve 30
device(config-if-ve-30)# ipv6 pim ttl-threshold 64
