ipv6 pim dr-priority
Use to set a priority value, in the range 1–254, by which a router is likely to be selected
as the designated router.
•
• Examples
In Router Configuration mode:
host1(config-if)#ipv6 pim dr-priority 24
In Interface Configuration mode:
host1(config-subif)#ipv6 pim dr-priority 24
• Use the no version to restore the default value, 1.
Configuring the PIM Join/Prune Message Interval
When you use the router for PIM, the router sends join/prune message to the upstream
RPF neighbor. The default join/prune message interval is 60 seconds. You can configure
the join/prune message interval using the ipv6 pim join-prune-interval command. The
ipv6 pim join-prune-interval command in Router Configuration mode configures the
join-prune interval on all the PIM interfaces on the router. To override this global setting
on a particular interface, use the ipv6 pim join-prune-interval command in Interface
Configuration mode.
The hold-time associated with the PIM join/prune interval messages is 3.5 times the PIM
join/prune message interval.
NOTE: You cannot configure the PIM join/prune message interval on PIM dense mode
interfaces.
ipv6 pim join-prune-interval
Use to set an interval value, in the range 10–210 seconds, at which the router sends
the PIM join/prune message; the default value is 60 seconds.
•
• Examples
In Router Configuration mode:
host1(config-if)#ipv6 pim join-prune-interval 150
In Interface Configuration mode:
host1(config-subif)#ipv6 pim join-prune-interval 150
• Use the no version to restore the default value, 60 seconds.
Configuring an RP Router for PIM Sparse Mode
When you use the router for PIM sparse mode, some VRs must act as RP routers. If you
want to control PIM more tightly, you can configure a static RP router. To do so:
