Command Mode CONFIGURATION
Usage
Information
Use this command to adjust the interval between candidate RP advertisements. The advertised RP
entries remain in the node until the hold time value expires. Dell Technologies recommends configuring
the hold time value to be 2.5 times the advertisement interval. The no form of the command resets the
candidate RP timers to the default values.
Example
OS10# configure terminal
OS10(config)# ip pim vrf red rp-candidate-timers loopback 10 advt-
interval 30 hold-time 80

Command Mode INTERFACE CONFIGURATION
Usage
Information
Before you enable PIM sparse mode, ensure that:
● Multicast is enabled globally using the ip multicast-routing command.
● The interface is enabled. Use the no shutdown command to enable the interface.
● The interface is in Layer 3 mode. PIM-SM is enabled only on a Layer 3 interface. Before configuring
PIM on the interface, use the no switchport command to change the interface from Layer 2 to
Layer 3 mode.
Use the no form of the command to disable PIM sparse mode.
