enable pim iproute sharing

enable pim {ipv4 | ipv6} iproute sharing

Description

Enables the PIM ECMP feature.

Syntax Description


iproute	IP Route.
sharing	Equal Cost Multipath Routing.

Default

Disabled.

Usage Guidelines

Use this feature to allow downstream PIM router to choose multiple ECMP path to source via hash from one of the following selections without affecting the existing unicast routing algorithm:

Source
Group
Source-Group
Source-Group-Next-Hop

This feature does load splitting, not load balancing, and operates on a per (S, G) and (*;G) basis, splitting the load onto the available equal cost paths by hashing according to the selection criteria defined by the user.

Make sure that IP route sharing is also enabled using enable iproute {ipv4| ipv6} sharing.

Example

The following command enables the PIM ECMP feature:

enable pim ipv4 iproute sharing

This command was first available in ExtremeXOS 15.3.2.
