Parameter Description
Interface Name:[ ]
Allows the entry of the name of the IP
interface for which PIM-DM is to be
configured. This must be a previously
defined IP interface.
IP Address
Displays the IP address for the IP
interface named above.
Hello Interval:[30 ]
This field allows an entry of between 0
and 9,999 seconds and determines the
interval between sending Hello packets
to other routers on the network. The
Hello messages are used by the router to
determine if it is the root router on the
delivery tree or not. If the router does not
receive a Hello message within the Hello
Interval, it will begin transmitting Hello
messages to advertise its availability to
become the root router. The default is 30
seconds.
Join/Prune
Interval:[60 ]
This field allows an entry of between 0
and 9,999 seconds and determines the
interval between transmitting (flooding to
all interfaces) multicast messages to
downstream routers, and automatically
‘pruning’ a branch from the multicast
delivery tree. This interval also
determines the time interval the router
uses to automatically remove prune
information from a branch of a multicast
delivery tree and begin to flood multicast
messages to all branches of that delivery
tree. These two actions are equivalent.
The default is 60 seconds.
State:<Disabled>
This field can be toggled between
Enabled and Disabled using the space
bar, and is used to enable or disable
PIM-DM for the IP interface. The default
