HP MSR2000/3000/4000 Router Series IP Multicast Configuration Guide

82
A router does not immediately prune an interface after it receives a prune message from the
interface. Instead, it starts a timer (the prune message delay plus the override interval). If interface
receives a join message before the override interval expires, the router does not prune the
interface. Otherwise, the router prunes the interface when the timer (the prune message delay plus
the override interval) expires.
You can enable the neighbor tracking function (or disable the join message suppression function)
on an upstream router to track the states of the downstream nodes that have sent the join message
and the joined state holdtime timer has not expired. If you want to enable the neighbor tracking
function, you must enable it on all PIM routers on a shared-media LAN. Otherwise, the upstream
router cannot track join messages from every downstream routers.
• 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 a 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.
You can configure hello message options in PIM view or interface view. The configurations made in PIM
view take effect on all interfaces and the configurations made in interface view take effect only on the
current interface. If you configure hello message options in both PIM view and interface view, the
configuration in interface view always takes precedence.
