|
Mode
|
Configures the mode on the routing switch: sm (sparse mode) or ssm (source-specific multicast).
|
Enable
|
Enables or disables PIM.
|
Mbr (Multicast Border Router)
|
Configures the router as a PIM multicast border router (PMBR). PMBRs connect PIM domains to other multicast routing domains and the rest of the Internet. In particular, the MBR on 8000 Series switches allow the connection of a PIM-SM domain to a DVMRP domain.
|
JoinPruneInterval
|
Specifies how long to wait (in seconds) before the PIM router sends out the next join/prune message to its upstream neighbors.
The range is from 1 to 18724, and the default is 60 seconds.
|
RegisterSuppTimer
|
Specifies how long (in seconds) the DR suppresses sending registers to the RP. The timer starts when the DR receives a Register Stop message from the RP.
The range is from 6 to 65535, and the default is 60 seconds.
|
UniRouteChgTimeOut
|
Specifies how often (in seconds) the switch polls the routing table manager (RTM) for unicast routing information updates to be used by PIM.
The range is from 2 to 65535, and the default is 5 seconds.
Note: Lowering this value increases how often the switch polls the RTM. This may affect the switch's performance, especially when there's a lot of traffic flowing through the switch.
|
DiscardDataTimeOut
|
Specifies how long (in seconds) to discard data until the Join is received from the RP. An ipmc discard record is created after a register packet is sent until the timer expires and/or when a Join is received.
The range is from 5 to 65535, and the default is 60 seconds.
|
CRPADVTimeOut
|
Specifies how often (in seconds) that routers configured as candidate RPs send C-RP advertisement messages. When this timer expires, the C-RP sends an advertisement message to the elected BSR.
The range is from 5 to 26214, and the default is 60 seconds.
|
BootStrapPeriod
|
Specifies the interval (in seconds) that the elected BSR waits between originating bootstrap messages.
The range is from 5 to 32757, and the default is 60 seconds.
|
StaticRP
|
Enables or disables the Static RP feature. Static RP enables you to configure a static entry for a rendezvous point (RP). This feature enables you to communicate with switches from other vendors that do not use the BSR mechanism.
