Configuring the Register Message Rate Limit for PIMv6

The maximum number of register packets sent or received per second by the router can be configured.
Complete the following steps to configure the register message rate limit to 15 packets per second, changing it from the default of 1 packet per second. This rate is applicable to register messages from all sources. This rate is applied to all sources that are permitted by the accept-register filter that is used to block unauthorized sources or groups.
  1. Enter global configuration mode. 
    device# configure terminal
  2. Enable PIMv6 globally. 
    device(config)# ipv6 router pim
  3. Set the register rate limit to 15 packets per second. 
    device(config-ipv6-pim-router)# register-rate-limit 15

The following example sets the register message rate limit to 15 packets per second for PIMv6.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# ipv6 router pim
device(config-ipv6-pim-router)# register-rate-limit 15
