Configures the amount of time a PIM device waits to stop traffic after receiving a Prune message from a neighboring device.
The default wait time is 3 seconds.
PIM router configuration mode
A smaller prune wait time reduces flooding of unwanted traffic. A prune wait time of 0 causes the PIM device to stop traffic immediately upon receiving a prune message.
Do not configure a prune wait time when there are two or more neighbors on the physical port. One neighbor may send a prune message while the other sends a join message at the same time, or within less than 3 seconds.
The no prune-wait form of this command restores the default wait time of 3 seconds.
This example configures a wait time of 0 seconds for IPv4 PIM.
device(config)# router pim device(config-pim-router)# prune-wait 0
This example configures a wait time of 10 seconds for IPv6 PIM.
device(config)# ipv6 router pim device(config-ipv6-router-pim-vrf-default-vrf)# prune-wait 10
