Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM)

Fig 1: Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM)

DESCRIPTION

To enable Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) on an interface, use the ip pim command in interface configuration or virtual network interface configuration mode. To disable Protocol Independent Multicast (PlM) on the interface, use the no form of this command.

Enable

The following example shows how to enable PIM-SM on tunnel interface 0 and set the address of the RP router to 226.0.0.8:

ip pim rp-address 226.0.0.8

interface tunnel 0

ip pim sparse-mode

Here below following example shows how to enable Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM dense mode (PIM-DM) on Ethernet interface 1:

interface ethernet 1

ip pim adense-mode

Register the Multicast Traffic

The following example is an example that shows how to register the multicast traffic for any source and the any multicast group:

interface ethernet 0

jp address 172.16.0.0 255.255.255. 0
