Configure PIM on a Port

1. Enter GigabitEthernet Interface Configuration mode:

   enable

   configure terminal

   interface GigabitEthernet {slot/port[/sub-port][-slot/port[/sub-port]][,...][slot/all][all]}

   

   Note

   If the platform supports channelization and the port is channelized, you must also specify the sub-port in the format slot/port/sub-port.

2. Create a PIM interface on a port:

   ip pim enable

   This command creates an active interface, by default.

3. Configure the interval for join and prune messages:

   ip pim join-prune-interval <1–18724>

4. Configure the time between hello messages:

   ip pim hello-interval <0–18724>

Example

Configure the interval for join and prune messages and the time between hello messages:

Switch(config-if)#ip pim join-prune-interval 60
Switch(config-if)#ip pim hello-interval 30
