Configuring the PIM Join/Prune Message Interval for IPv6

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.

• To set an interval value, in the range 10–210 seconds, at which the router sends the PIM join/prune message, issue the ipv6 pim join-prune-interval command.

  In Router Configuration mode:

  host1(config-router)#ipv6 pim join-prune-interval 150

  The no version restores the default value, 60 seconds.

  In Interface Configuration mode:

  host1(config-subif)#ipv6 pim join-prune-interval 150

  The no version restores the value that is specified in Router Configuration mode.

Note: You can configure multicast on IPv4 and IPv6 interfaces. For information about configuring PIM on IPv4 interfaces, see Configuring PIM for IPv4 Multicast . For information about configuring IP interfaces, see Configuring IP in the JunosE IP, IPv6, and IGP Configuration Guide. For information about configuring IPv6 interfaces, see Configuring IPv6 in the JunosE IP, IPv6, and IGP Configuration Guide.
