Changing the Lan-prune-delay
interval
Syntax:
ip pim-sparse propagation-delay [250-2000]
vlan [vid] ip pim-sparse propagation-delay [250-2000]
ip pim-sparse override-interval [500-6000]
vlan [vid] ip pim-sparse override-interval [500-6000]
A router sharing a VLAN with other multicast
routers uses these two values to compute the lan-prune-delay
setting (above) for how long to wait for a PIM-SM join after receiving
a prune packet from downstream for a particular multicast group.
Multiple routers sharing VLAN
A network may have multiple routers sharing VLAN
"X." When an upstream router is forwarding traffic from multicast
group "X" to VLAN "Y," if one of the routers on VLAN "Y" does not
want this traffic, it issues a prune response to the upstream neighbor.
The upstream neighbor then goes into a prune
pending state for group "X" on VLAN "Y." (During this period,
the upstream neighbor continues to forward the traffic.) During the pending period, another router on VLAN "Y"
can send a group "X" join to the upstream neighbor. If this happens,
the upstream neighbor drops the prune pending state and continues forwarding the traffic. But if no routers on
the VLAN send a join, the upstream router prunes group "X" from VLAN
"Y" when the lan-prune-delay
timer expires.
(Defaults: propagation-delay
= 500 milliseconds; override-interval
= 2500 milliseconds)
