CLI
– This example enables PIM-DM globally and displays the current
status.
Configuring PIM-DM Interface Settings
To fully enable PIM-DM, you need to enable multicast routing globally for
the router (page 3-319), enable PIM-DM globally for the router
(page 3-335), and also enable PIM-DM for each interface that will
participate in multicast routing.
Command Usage
•
PIM-DM functions similar to DVMRP by periodically flooding the
network with traffic from any active multicast server (page 3-323). It
also uses IGMP to determine the presence of multicast group
members. The main difference, is that it uses the router’s unicast
routing table to determine if the interface through which a packet is
received provides the shortest path back to the source.
•
Dense-mode interfaces are subject to multicast flooding by default,
and are only removed from the multicast routing table when the router
determines that there are no group members or downstream routers,
or when a prune message is received from a downstream router.
•
The interface settings that control the prune and graft messages (i.e.,
prune holdtime) should be configured to the same values on all routers
throughout the network to allow PIM to function properly.
Command Attributes

Disabled)
