Specify RP Candidate Hold Time

This example specifies that the candidate RP advertisement for PIM component 1 will be valid for 30 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. Specify how often (in seconds) the switch sends PIM messages to the interface.

   SEFOS(config-if)# ip pim query-interval 60
   SEFOS(config-if)# exit
   SEFOS(config)#
   

5. Configure PIM component 1.

   SEFOS(config)# ip pim component 1
   

6. Configure the RP candidate.

   SEFOS(pim-comp)# rp-candidate rp-address 224.1.0.0  255.255.0.0  10.1.0.1
   

7. Configure the RP-candidate hold time for the PIM component.

   SEFOS(pim-comp)# rp-candidate holdtime 30
   SEFOS(pim-comp)# end
   

8. Ensure that the correct RP-candidate hold time is set.

   SEFOS# show ip pim component 1
