Syntax
message-interval [ vrf vrf-name ] interval
no message-interval [ vrf vrf-name ] interval
Parameters
vrf vrf-name

interval

Command Default

The join or prune interval is 60 seconds.

Modes

PIM router configuration mode

PIM router VRF configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

The no form of this command restores the default; the join-prune interval is 60 seconds.

PIM Sparse join and prune messages inform other PIM Sparse routers about clients who want to become receivers (join) or stop being receivers (prune) for PIM Sparse groups.

Note: Configure the same join or prune message interval on all the PIM Sparse routers in the PIM Sparse domain. The performance of PIM Sparse can be adversely affected if the routers use different timer intervals.
Examples

This example changes the PIM join or prune interval to 30 seconds.
