## Configure the Message Interval

When you configure the PIMv6 message interval, you set the frequency at which PIMv6 join or prune messages are transmitted on a PIMv6 interface. The join or prune message interval must be the same on all of the PIMv6 routers in the PIMv6 domain. If all of the routers do not use the same timer interval, then the performance of the PIMv6 sparse mode can be adversely affected.

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

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

2. Set the message interval to 120 seconds for the `VLAN 7` interface.

       SEFOS# configure terminal
       SEFOS(config)# interface vlan 7
       SEFOS(config-if)# ipv6 pim message-interval 120
       SEFOS(config-if)# end

3. Review the message interval.

       SEFOS# show ipv6 pim interface detail

       vlan7 34 is up
       ...
           PIM Message Interval : 120
       ...
