ipv6 pim6-dense max-graft-retries

Description

Configures the number of attempts the routing switch will retry sending the same graft packet to join a flow.

The no form of this command removes the currently configured value and sets to the default of 3 attempts.

Command context

config-if

config-if-vlan

config-lag-if

Parameters

<INTERVAL-VALUE>

Specifies the number of retries for the routing switch to resend the graft packet. Default: 3 attempts. Range: 1-10.

Authority

Administrators or local user group members with execution rights for this command.

Usage

If a graft acknowledgment response is not received after the specified number of retries, the routing switch ceases trying to join the flow. In this case the flow is removed until either a state-refresh from upstream re-initiates the flow or an upstream router floods the flow. Increasing this value helps to improve multicast reliability.

Example

Configuring and removing the dense graft retry interval:

switch(config)# interface vlan40
switch(config-if-vlan)# ipv6 pim6-dense max-graft-retries 6
switch(config-if-vlan)# no ipv6 pim6-dense max-graft-retries
