multicast pimsm-snooping

Enables PIM SM snooping for a specific VLAN.
Syntax
multicast pimsm-snooping [ prune-wait ] seconds
no multicast pimsm-snooping [ prune-wait ] seconds
Command Default

The global setting is applied.

Parameters
prune-wait seconds
Specifies the amount of time a device waits after receiving a PIM prune message before removing the outgoing interface (OIF) from the forwarding entry. The range is 0 to 65535 seconds. The default is 5 seconds.
Modes

VLAN configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

The prune-wait time is necessary on a LAN where multiple receivers could be listening to the group; it gives them time to override the prune message. Configure the multicast pimsm-snooping command with the prune-wait keyword to modify the prune-wait time according to topology and PIM router configurations.

In accordance with RFC 4601, PIM routers delay pruning for 3.5 seconds by default, so configuring a lower prune-wait value may cause traffic disruption. You should configure a prune-wait value lower than 3.5 seconds only if the topology supports it, for example, if the group has only one receiver, and an immediate prune is needed.

The no form of the command disables PIM SM snooping for the VLAN. The no form of the command with the prune-wait keyword restores the default prune-wait time (5 seconds).

Examples

The following example enables PIM SM snooping for VLAN 10.

device# configure termnial
device(config)# vlan 10
device(config-vlan-10)# multicast pimsm-snooping

The following example configures the prune-wait time to 7 seconds for VLAN 10.

device# configure termnial
device(config)# vlan 10
device(config-vlan-10)# multicast pimsm-snooping prune-wait 7
