Configuring PIM

To configure PIM multicast routing, enable multicast forwarding as described in Enabling Multicast Forwarding and do the following:

  1. Configure PIM on all IP multicast routing interfaces using the following command:
    configure pim {ipv4 | ipv6} add vlan [vlan-name | all] {dense | sparse} {passive}
  2. To enable and configure the PIM-DM state refresh feature on one or all VLANs, use the following commands:
    configure pim {ipv4 | ipv6} state-refresh {vlan} [vlan_name | all] [on | off]
    configure pim { ipv4 | ipv6 } state-refresh timer origination-interval interval
    configure pim {ipv4 | ipv6} state-refresh timer source-active-timer interval
    configure pim {ipv4 | ipv6} state-refresh ttl ttlvalue
  3. For PIM-SSM, specify the PIM-SSM range, enable IGMPv3, and enable PIM-SSM on the interfaces using the following commands:
    configure pim {ipv4 | ipv6} ssm range [default | policy policy-name]
    enable igmp {vlan vlan name } {IGMPv1 | IGMPv2 | IGMPv3}
    enable pim {ipv4 | ipv6} ssm vlan [vlan_name | all]
  4. Enable PIM on the router using the following command:
    enable pim
