Configuring a PIM hello policy

About PIM hello policies

This feature enables the device to filter PIM hello messages by using an ACL that specifies the packet source addresses. It is used to guard against PIM message attacks and to establish correct PIM neighboring relationships.

If hello messages of an existing PIM neighbor are filtered out by the policy, the neighbor is automatically removed when its aging timer expires.
