## Configure the RP-Candidate Hold Time

The hold-time value is the amount of time the candidate RP advertisement is valid. When you configure the RP-candidate hold time, you set the hold time of the component when it is a candidate RP in the local domain. The mode must already be set to sparse.

1. Associate the `VLAN 7` interface with PIMv6 component 1.

       SEFOS(config)# interface vlan 7
       SEFOS(config-if)# ipv6 pim componentId 1
       SEFOS(config-if)# end

2. Enter the PIMv6 component mode for PIMv6 component 1.

       SEFOS(config)# ip pim component 1

3. Configure the RP-candidate hold time to 30 seconds for PIMv6 component 1.

       SEFOS(pim-comp)# rp-candidate holdtime 30
       SEFOS(pim-comp)# end

4. Review the hold time value.

       SEFOS# show ipv6 pim component 1
