In this case, increasethe limit by at least 10% for IGMP and MLD to resume.• If the limit is decreased after it is reached, Dell Networking OS does not clear the existing sessions.Entries are cleared after a timeout (you may also clear entries using the clear ip mroutecommand).NOTE: Dell Networking OS waits at least 30 seconds between stopping and starting IGMP joinprocessing. You may experience this delay when manipulating the limit after it is reached.When the multicast route limit is reached, Dell Networking OS displays the following:3w1d13h: %RPM0-P:RP2 %PIM-3-PIM_TIB_LIMIT: PIM TIB limit reached. No newroutes willbe learnt until TIB level falls below low watermark.3w1d13h: %RPM0-P:RP2 %PIM-3-PIM_TIB_LIMIT: PIM TIB below low watermark.Route learningwill begin.To limit the number of multicast routes, use the following command.594 Multicast Features
