Shortest Path Bridging (SPB) and Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) cannot interoperate with each other on the switch at the same time. To ensure that SPB and PIM stay mutually exclusive, the software uses a boot flag called boot config flags spbm-config-mode.
The boot config flags spbm-config-mode flag is enabled by default. This enables you to configure SPB and IS-IS, but you cannot configure PIM and IGMP either globally or on an interface.
If you disable the boot flag, save the configuration, and then reboot with the saved configuration. When the flag is disabled, you can configure PIM and IGMP Snooping, but you cannot configure SPB or IS-IS.
Important
After you change the boot config flags spbm-config-mode flag, you must save the configuration, and then reboot the switch for the change to take effect.
For more information about this boot flag and Simplified vIST, see IP Multicast.
