Configuring join/prune interval

Configure the interval at which the router will send periodic PIM-SM join or prune interval messages.

Prerequisites

You must be in the PIM configuration context, as indicated by the switch(config-pim)# prompt for IPv4 or the switch(config-pim6)# prompt for IPv6.

Procedure

Configure the join/prune interval using the following command.

join-prune-interval <INTERVAL-VALUE>

For example, the following command sets the join/prune interval to 400 seconds:

For IPv4 configurations:

switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# router pim
switch(config-pim)# join-prune-interval 400

For IPv6 configurations:

switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# router pim6
switch(config-pim6)# join-prune-interval 400

The no form of the command sets the interval to the default of 60 seconds.
