When the limit falls below 95% after hitting the maximum, the system begins relearning route entries through IGMP, MLD, and MSDP. • If the limit is increased after it is reached, join subsequent join requests are accepted. In this case, you must increase the limit by at least 10% for IGMP and MLD to resume. • If the limit is decreased after it is reached, FTOS does not clear the existing sessions. Entries are cleared upon a timeout (you may also clear entries using clear ip mroute). Note: FTOS waits at least 30 seconds between stopping and starting IGMP join processing. You may experience this delay when manipulating the limit after it is reached. When the multicast route limit is reached, FTOS displays Message 1. Message 1 Multicast Route Limit Error 3w1d13h: %RPM0-P:RP2 %PIM-3-PIM_TIB_LIMIT: PIM TIB limit reached. No new routes will be learnt until TIB level falls below low watermark. 3w1d13h: %RPM0-P:RP2 %PIM-3-PIM_TIB_LIMIT: PIM TIB below low watermark. Route learning will begin. 610 | Multicast Features
