nbr-timeout

Configures the length of time a PIM device waits for hello messages before considering a neighbor to be absent.

Syntax

nbr-timeout num
no nbr-timeout

Command Default

The default interval is 105 seconds.

Parameters

num
Specifies the timeout value in seconds. Valid values range from 35 through 12600 seconds.

Modes

Router PIM configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

The absence of PIM hello messages from a neighboring device indicates that the neighbor is absent. The interval should not be less than 3.5 times the hello timer value.

The no nbr-timeout form of the command reverts the timeout to the default of 105 seconds.

Examples

This example configures a timeout of 600 seconds for IPv4 PIM.

device(config)# router pim
device(config-pim-router)# nbr-timeout 600
