Valid Values: A numeric value greater than 0

Default Value: 60

variables assert_tout

Example:

PIM config>set v assert_tout

PIM Assert Time Out [210]

Assert time out

The amount of time in seconds that downstream routers will save
assert information received from two or more asserting upstream
routers. Assert information is used to ensure the downstream
routers understand who the correct upstream router is, or
forwarding router, so that PIM messages may be sent to the correct
router. If no further asserts are received before the assert time has
expired, the assert information is discarded and the router uses
local information in the unicast routing tables to determine the
correct upstream forwarding router.

Valid Values: 1 - 65535

Default Value: 210

variables graft_tout

Example:

PIM config>set v graft_tout

PIM Graft Time Out [3]

Graft time out

Specifies the number of seconds that the device that has sent a
graft message, but has received no acknowledgement, will wait
before sending another message.

Valid Values: 1 - 65535

Default Value: 3
