• Generation ID—A router generates a generation ID for hello messages when an interface is
enabled with PIM. The generation ID is a random value, but only changes when the status of the
router changes. If an PIM router finds that the generation ID in a hello message from the upstream
router has changed, it assumes that the status of the upstream router has changed. In this case, it
sends a join message to the upstream router for status update. You can configure an interface to
drop hello messages without the generation ID options to promptly know the status of an upstream
router.
To configure hello options globally:
