Basic PIM Settings
To use PIM the following is required:
 The PIM feature must be enabled globally on the switch.
 PIM network components and PIM modes must be defined.
 IP interfaces must be configured for each PIM component.
 PIM neighbor filters may be defined (optional).
 If PIM ‐ SM is used, define additional parameters:

Rendezvous Point

Designated Router preferences (optional)

Bootstrap Router preferences (optional)
Each of these tasks is covered in the following sections.
Note:
PIM can be configured through the ISCLI only. PIM configuration and
information are not available using the menu ‐ based CLI, the BBI, or via SNMP.
Globally Enabling or Disabling the PIM Feature
By default, PIM is disabled on the switch. PIM can be globally enabled or disabled
using the following ISCLI commands:
Defining a PIM Network Component
The NE2552E can be attached to a maximum of two independent PIM network
components. Each component represents a different PIM network, and can be
defined for either PIM ‐ SM or PIM ‐ DM operation. Basic PIM component
configuration is performed using the following commands:
The
sparse
option will place the component in Sparse Mode (PIM ‐ SM). The
dense
option will place the component in Dense Mode (PIM ‐ DM). By default, PIM
component 1 is configured for Sparse Mode. PIM component 2 is non configured
by default.
Note:
A component using PIM ‐ SM must also be configured with a dynamic or
static Rendezvous Point (see “Specifying the Rendezvous Point” on page 424 ).
