Configuring S,G Expiry Timers
You can configure a global expiry time (for all [S,G] entries). By default, [S,G] entries expire in 210 seconds.
When you create, delete, or update an expiry time, the changes are applied when the keep alive timer refreshes.
To configure a global expiry time, use the following command.
Enable global expiry timer for S, G entries.
CONFIGURATION mode
{ip | ipv6} pim sparse-mode sg-expiry-timer seconds
The range is from 211 to 86,400 seconds.
The default is 210.
NOTE: The global expiry time for all [S, G] entries can vary from 360 to 420 seconds.
To display the expiry time configuration, use the show running-configuration pim command from EXEC Privilege
mode.
DellEMC#show running-configuration pim
!
ipv6 pim sparse-mode
ipv6 pim dr-priority 10
ipv6 pim rp-address 52::40:4:4 group-address ff0e::/64

Configuring a Static Rendezvous Point
The rendezvous point (RP) is a PIM-enabled interface on a router that acts as the root a group-specific tree; every group must
have an RP.
Identify an RP by the IP address of a PIM-enabled or Loopback interface.
{ip | ipv6} pim rp-address address group-address group-address mask [override]
Following is an example of IPv4 configuration:
DellEMC#show running-configuration interface loop0
!
interface Loopback 0
ip address 1.1.1.1/32
ip pim sparse-mode
no shutdown
DellEMC#show running-configuration pim
!
ip pim rp-address 1.1.1.1 group-address 224.0.0.0/4
Following is an example of IPv6 configuration:
DellEMC#show running-configuration interface loop0
!
interface Loopback 0
ipv6 address 2111:dddd:0eee::22/64
ipv6 pim sparse-mode
no shutdown
DellEMC#show running-configuration pim
!
ipv6 pim rp-address 2111:dddd:0eee::22/64 group-address 2111:dddd:0eee::22/128
