Figure 13-61. Protocols -> Setup: PIM
This screen has the following fields:
-
Rib Group Name —The name of the routing table group. The name must be one that you
previously defined with the rib-group statement when editing/adding routing-options in the
command line interface.
-
VPN Group Address —The IP address of the VPN group.
-
Assert Timeout —Enter the time. Multicast routers running PIM sparse mode often forward the
same stream of multicast packets onto the same LAN through the rendezvous-point tree
(RPT) and shortest-path tree (SPT). PIM assert messages help routers determine which
router forwards the traffic and prunes the RPT for this group. By default, routers enter an
assert cycle every 210 seconds. You can configure this assert timeout between 5 and 210
seconds.
-
Graceful Restart Duration —Enter the time, or check disable. This is the time the routing
platform waits to complete PIM sparse mode graceful restart.
