Resetting the PIM Traffic Counters If PIM malfunctions or in order to verify that the expected number of PIM packets are received and sent, the user can clear PIM traffic counters. Once the traffic counters are cleared, the user can enter the show ipv6 pim traffic command to verify that PIM is functioning correctly and that PIM packets are being received and sent correctly. To resetting the PIM traffic counters, perform this procedure: Procedure Implementing IPv6 Multicast Resetting the PIM Traffic Counters Command or Action Purpose Step 8 ipv6 pim join-prune-interval seconds Example:
Device(config-if)# ipv6 pim join-prune-interval 75 Configures periodic join and prune announcement intervals for a specified interface. Step 9 exit Example: Device(config-if)# exit Enter this command twice to exit interface configuration mode and enter privileged EXEC mode. Step 10 ipv6 pim join-prune statistic [interface-type] Example: Device(config-if)# show ipv6 pim join-prune statistic Displays the average join-prune aggregation for the most recently aggregated packets for each interface. Step 11 copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file. Command or Action Purpose Step 1 enable Example: Device> enable Enables privileged EXEC mode.
Enter your password if prompted. Step 2 configure terminal Example: Device# configure terminal Enters global configuration mode. Step 3 clear ipv6 pim traffic Example: Device# clear ipv6 pim traffic Resets the PIM traffic counters. Implementing IPv6 Multicast 18
