Release Information
Statement introduced before Junos OS Release 7.4.
Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 9.0 for EX Series switches.
Description
Multicast routing devices running PIM sparse mode often forward the same stream of
multicast packets onto the same LAN through the rendezvous-point tree (RPT) and
shortest-path tree (SPT). PIM assert messages help routing devices determine which
routing device forwards the traffic and prunes the RPT for this group. By default, routing
devices enter an assert cycle every 180 seconds. You can configure this assert timeout
to be between 5 and 210 seconds.
Options
