Chapter 44 Configuring IP Multicast Routing
Configuring IP Multicast Routing
To disable multicasting, use the
no ip multicast-routing distributed
global configuration command. To
return to the default PIM version, use the
no ip pim version
interface configuration command. To
disable PIM on an interface, use the
no ip pim
interface configuration command.
Command
Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal
Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
ip multicast-routing distributed
Enable IP multicast distributed switching.
Step 3
interface
interface-id
Specify the Layer 3 interface on which you want to enable multicast
routing, and enter interface configuration mode.
The specified interface must be one of the following:
•
A routed port: a physical port that has been configured as a Layer 3
port by entering the
no switchport
interface configuration
command.
•
An SVI: a VLAN interface created by using the
interface vlan
vlan-id
global configuration command.
These interfaces must have IP addresses assigned to them. For more
information, see the
“Configuring Layer 3 Interfaces” section on
.
Step 4
ip pim version
[
1
|
2
]
Configure the PIM version on the interface.
By default, Version 2 is enabled and is the recommended setting.
An interface in PIMv2 mode automatically downgrades to PIMv1 mode
if that interface has a PIMv1 neighbor. The interface returns to Version
2 mode after all Version 1 neighbors are shut down or upgraded.
For more information, see the
“PIMv1 and PIMv2 Interoperability”
.
Step 5
ip pim
{
dense-mode
|
sparse-mode
|
sparse-dense-mode
}
Enable a PIM mode on the interface.
By default, no mode is configured.
The keywords have these meanings:
•
dense-mode
—Enables dense mode of operation.
•
sparse-mode
—Enables sparse mode of operation. If you configure
sparse mode, you must also configure an RP. For more information,
see the
“Configuring a Rendezvous Point” section on page 44-24
.
•
sparse-dense-mode
—Causes the interface to be treated in the mode
in which the group belongs. Sparse-dense mode is the recommended
setting.
Step 6
end
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 7
show running-config
Verify your entries.
Step 8
copy running-config startup-config
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
