132CHAPTER 6: MULTICAST PROTOCOL

Configuring the Maximum Number of PIM Neighbor on an Interface

Displaying and Debugging PIM-DM

When the router is run in the PIM-DM domain, it is best to enable PIM-DM on all interfaces of the non-border router.

Enabling Multicast

See “Configuring Common Multicast ” on page 114.

Enabling PIM-DM

PIM-DM needs to be enabled in the configuration of all interfaces.

After PIM-DM is enabled on an interface, it will send PIM Hello messages periodically, and process protocol packets sent by PIM neighbors.

Perform the following configuration in VLAN interface view.

Table 138 Enable PIM-DM

Operation

Command

 

 

Enable PIM-DM on an interface

pim dm

Disable PIM-DM on an interface

undo pim dm

 

 

3Com recommends that you configure PIM-DM on all interfaces. This configuration is effective only after the multicast routing is enabled in system view.

Once you enable PIM-DM on an interface, PIM-SM cannot be enabled on the same interface and vice versa.

Entering PIM View

Global parameters of PIM should be configured in PIM view.

Perform the following configuration in system view.

Table 139 Entering PIM View

Operation

Command

 

 

Enter PIM view

pim

Return to system view

undo pim

 

 

Use the undo pim command to clear the configuration in PIM view, and to return to system view.

Configuring the Interface Hello Message Interval

After PIM is enabled on an interface, it will send Hello messages periodically. The interval at which Hello messages are sent can be modified according to the bandwidth and type of the network connected to the interface.
