8-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch User's Guide Figure 7-31. PIMDM Interface Configuration screen Items on the screen above include: • Interface Name - The name of the IP interface (previously defined) on the switch for which a multicast interface is to be configured. • IP Address - The IP address (sometimes referred to as a network address) corresponding to the interface name above. • Hello Interval - This field allows an entry of between 1 and 18,724 seconds and determines the interval between sending Hello packets to other routers on the network. The Hello messages are used by the router to determine if it is the root router on the delivery tree or not. If the router does not receive a Hello message within the Hello Interval, it will begin transmitting Hello messages to advertise its availability to become the root router. The default is 30 seconds. • Join/Prune Interval - This field allows an entry of between 1 and 18,724 seconds and determines the interval between transmitting (flooding to all interfaces) multicast messages to downstream routers, and automatically 'pruning' a branch from the multicast delivery tree. This interval also determines the time interval the router uses to automatically remove prune information from a branch of a multicast delivery tree and begin to flood multicast messages to all branches of that delivery tree. These two actions are equivalent. The default is 60 seconds. • State - Allows PIMDM to be Disabled or Enabled for the above IP interface. The default is Disabled.
