PIM Configuration Examples

BLADEOS 6.5.2 Application Guide

Example 1: PIM-SM with Dynamic RP

This example configures PIM Sparse Mode for one IP interface, with the switch acting as a candidate for dynamic Rendezvous Point (RP) selection.

1.Globally enable the PIM feature:

RS G8124(config)# ip pim enable

2.Configure a PIM network component with dynamic RP settings, and set it for PIM Sparse Mode:

RS G8124(config)# ip pim component 1

RS G8124(config-ip-pim-comp)# mode sparse

RS G8124(config-ip-pim-comp)#rp-candidate rp-address 225.1.0.0 255.255.0.0 10.10.1.1

RS G8124(config-ip-pim-comp)# exit

Where 225.1.0.0 is the multicast group base IP address, 255.255.0.0 is the multicast group address mask, and 10.10.1.1 is the switch RP candidate address.

Note – Because, Sparse Mode is set by default for PIM component 1, the mode command is needed only if the mode has been previously changed.

3.Define an IP interface for use with PIM:

RS G8124(config)# interface ip 111

RS G8124(config-ip-if)#ip address 10.10.1.1 255.255.255.255

RS G8124(config-ip-if)# vlan 11

RS G8124(config-ip-if)# enable

The IP interface represents the PIM network being connected to the switch. The IPv4 addresses in the defined range must not be included in another IP interface on the switch under a different VLAN.

4.Enable PIM on the IP interface and assign the PIM component:

RS G8124(config-ip-if)# ip pim enable

RS G8124(config-ip-if)# ip pim component-id 1

Note – Because, PIM component 1 is assigned to the interface by default, the component-idcommand is needed only if the setting has been previously changed.

5.Set the Bootstrap Router (BSR) preference:

RS G8124(config-ip-if)#ip pim cbsr-preference 135

RS G8124(config-ip-if)# exit
