Usage Guidelines
The
no form of this command restores the default prune time, 180 seconds.
The first received multicast interface is forwarded to all other PIM interfaces on the device. If there is no presence of groups on that interface, the leaf node sends a prune message upstream and stores a prune state. This prune state travels up the tree and installs a prune state. A prune state is maintained until the prune timer expires or a graft message is received for the forwarding entry.
