Specify the Hello Messaging Interval

This example transmits hello messages from VLAN 5 to neighboring PIM routers every 80 seconds.

  1. Enable PIM globally.
    SEFOS# configure terminal
    SEFOS(config)# set ip pim enable
  2. Enter Interface Configuration mode for the interface.
    SEFOS(config)# interface vlan 5
  3. Associate the VLAN interface with the PIM component.
    SEFOS(config-if)# ip pim componentId 1
  4. Configure the query interval for the PIM interface.
    SEFOS(config-if)# ip pim query-interval 80
    SEFOS(config-if)# end
  5. Ensure that the correct PIM query interval is set.
    SEFOS# show ip pim interface detail
