Configuring the Prune Delay

If a downstream router on a multi-access LAN does not support the prune override interval

option, you can configure the prune delay time on the upstream router so that it will not perform

the prune action immediately after receiving the prune message; instead, it maintains the

current forwarding state for a period of prune delay time. In this period, if the upstream router

receives a join message from the downstream router, it cancels the prune action.

Follow these steps to configure the prune delay time

Configuring IPv6 PIM Common Timers

IPv6 PIM routers discover IPv6 PIM neighbors and maintain IPv6 PIM neighboring relationships

with other routers by periodically sending out hello messages.

Upon receiving a hello message, an IPv6 PIM router waits a random period, which is smaller

than the maximum delay between hello messages, before sending out a hello message. This

avoids collisions that occur when multiple IPv6 PIM routers send hello messages

simultaneously.

An IPv6 PIM router periodically sends join/prune messages to its upstream for state update. A

join/prune message contains the join/prune timeout time. The upstream router sets a join/prune

timeout timer for each pruned downstream interface.
