ip pim graceful-restart
This feature permits conguration of non-stop forwarding (NSF or graceful restart) capability of a PIM router to its neighbors.
Syntax
[ipv6] ip pim graceful-restart {helper-only | nsf [restart-time | stale-
entry-time]}
Parameters
ipv6 Enter the keyword ipv6 to enable graceful-restart for the IPv6 multicast routes.
helper-only Enter the keywords helper-only to congure as a receiver (helper) only by
preserving the PIM status of a graceful restart PIM neighboring router.
nsf Enter the keyword nsf to congure the non-stop forwarding capability.
restart-time (OPTIONAL) Enter the keywords restart-time followed by the number of
seconds estimated for the PIM speaker to restart. The range is 30 to 300 seconds.
The default is 180 seconds.
stale-entry-time (OPTIONAL) Enter the keywords stale-entry-time followed by the number

Version Description
9.0(1.3) Introduced on the S5000.
8.2.1.0 Introduced on the E-Series ExaScale. Added the ipv6 option for the E-Series.
7.6.1.0 Introduced on the E-Series.
Usage Information
When an NSF-capable router comes up, it announces the graceful restart capability and restart duration as a
Hello option. The receiving router notes the Hello option. Routers not NSF-capable discard the unknown
Hello option and adjacency is not aected.
When an NSF-capable router goes down, the neighboring PIM speaker preserves the states and continues
the forwarding of multicast trac while the neighbor router restarts.
ip pim
join-lter
Permit or deny PIM Join/Prune messages on an interface using an extended IP access list. This command prevents the PIM-SM
router from creating state based on multicast source and/or group.

Syntax

To remove the access list, use the no ip pim [vrf vrf-name] join-filter ext-access-
list command.
