Parameters
interval: Sets the interval for sending join/prune messages, in the range of 0 to 18000 seconds. If you
set the value to 0, no join or prune messages are sent.
Usage guidelines
You can set the interval for sending join/prune messages in PIM view or interface view. The
configurations made in PIM view are effective on all interfaces. The configurations made in interface
view are effective on only the current interface. If you set the interval in both PIM view and interface view,
the configuration in interface view always takes precedence.
The configuration takes effect after the current interval ends.
To prevent the upstream neighbors from expiring, you must configure the interval for sending join/prune
messages to be less than the joined/pruned state holdtime timer.
Examples
# Set the global interval for sending join/prune messages to 80 seconds on the public network.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] pim
[Sysname-pim] timer join-prune 80
