Modifying Graft Retransmit Timer

The Graft Retransmit Timer defines the interval between the transmission of graft messages.

A graft message is sent by a router to cancel a prune state. When a router receives a graft message, the router responds with a Graft Ack (acknowledge) message. If this Graft Ack message is lost, the router that sent the graft message will resend it.

USING THE CLI

To change the graft retransmit timer from the default of 180 to 90 seconds, enter the following:

HP9300(config)# router pim

HP9300(config-pim-router)# graft-retransmit-timer 90

Syntax: graft-retransmit-timer <10-3600>

The default is 180 seconds.
