Modifying the Local RP Hold Time

If the local router is configured as an RP, it is considered a candidate RP for its local multicast groups. For candidate RPs, the hold time is used by the bootstrap router to time out RPs, and applies to the bootstrap RP-set mechanism. The RP hold time is part of the candidate RP advertisement message sent by the local router to the bootstrap router. If the bootstrap router does not receive a candidate RP advertisement from an RP within the hold time, it removes that router from its list of candidate RPs. The default hold time is 150 seconds.

To modify the hold-time value for the local RP, include the hold-time statement:




hold-time seconds;

You can include this statement at the following hierarchy levels:

[edit protocols pim rp local family]
[edit routing-instances routing-instance-name protocols pim rp local family]
