Configuring PIM Message Intervals

Router query messages are used to select the PIM DR. The PIM DR is responsible for sending router
query messages. By default, router query messages are sent every 30 seconds. Additionally, every 60
seconds, the ASA sends PIM join or prune messages.

To change these intervals, perform the following steps:

Detailed Steps

Filtering PIM Neighbors

You can define the routers that can become PIM neighbors. By filtering the routers that can become PIM
neighbors, you can do the following:

Prevent unauthorized routers from becoming PIM neighbors.

Prevent attached stub routers from participating in PIM.

To define neighbors that can become a PIM neighbor, perform the following steps:

Detailed Steps

Command

Purpose

Step 1

pim hello-interval

seconds

Example:

hostname(config-if)# pim hello-interval 60

Sends router query messages.

Valid values for the seconds argument range from 1 to 3600
seconds.

Step 2

pim join-prune-interval

seconds

Example:

hostname(config-if)# pim

join-prune-interval 60

Changes the amount of time (in seconds) that the ASA sends PIM
join or prune messages.

Valid values for the seconds argument range from 10 to 600
seconds.

Command

Purpose

Step 1

access-list pim_nbr deny

router-IP_addr

PIM neighbor

Example:

hostname(config)# access-list pim_nbr deny

10.1.1.1 255.255.255.255

Uses a standard access list to define the routers that you want to
have participate in PIM.

In the example, the following access list, when used with the pim
neighbor-filter
command, prevents the 10.1.1.1 router from
becoming a PIM neighbor.

Step 2

pim neighbor-filter pim_nbr

Example:

hostname(config)# interface

GigabitEthernet0/3

hostname(config-if)# pim neighbor-filter

pim_nbr

Filters neighbor routers.

In the example, the 10.1.1.1 router is prevented from becoming a
PIM neighbor on interface GigabitEthernet0/3.
