Editing static source groups
Configure static source-group entries in the PIM multicast routing table. PIM cannot prune these entries from the distribution tree. In other words, even if no receivers exist in the group, the multicast stream for a static source-group entry stays active.
Before you begin
-
Before you can configure a static source group, you must globally enable one of the following protocols:
-
PIM-Sparse Mode (SM)
-
PIM-Source Specific Multicast (SSM)
-
