Editing PIM interface parameters
Edit PIM parameters for an interface to customize the PIM configuration.

Procedure
- In the navigation pane, expand the following folders: .
- Click PIM.
- Click the Interfaces tab.
- Edit the fields by double-clicking on them, and then select or type the new value.
- Click Apply.
