ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 Command Reference Guide
1812
configure pim add vlan
configure pim add vlan [<vlan-name> | all] {dense | sparse} {passive}
Description
Configures an IP interface for PIM.
Syntax Description
Default
Dense.
Usage Guidelines
When an IP interface is created, per-interface PIM configuration is disabled by default.
The switch supports both dense mode and sparse mode operation. You can configure dense mode or
sparse mode on a per-interface basis. After they are enabled, some interfaces can run dense mode, while
others run sparse mode.
Passive interfaces are host only interfaces that allow a multicast stream from other VLANs to be
forwarded to edge hosts. Since they do not peer with other PIM routers, do not connect a multicast
router to a passive interface.
In order for the interface to participate in PIM, PIM must be enabled on the switch using the following
command:
enable pim
Example
The following command enables PIM-DM multicast routing on VLAN
accounting
:
configure pim add vlan accounting dense
