Configuring PGM Host and Router Assist

PGM Host Configuration Task List

Enabling PGM Host with a Virtual Host Interface

To enable PGM Host globally on the router and to configure the router to source PGM packets through a vif, use the following command in global configuration mode:

Command

Purpose

 

 

Router(config)# ip pgm host

Enables PGM Host (both the source and receiver parts of the PGM

 

network layer) globally on the router and configures the router to

 

source PGM packets through a vif.

 

Note You must configure a vif by using the interface vif number

 

global configuration command on the router before enabling

 

PGM Host on the router; otherwise, the router will not know

 

to use the vif to source PGM packets and PGM Host will not

 

be enabled on the router.

 

 

See the “PGM Host with a Virtual Interface Example” section later in this chapter for an example of enabling PGM Host with a virtual interface.

Enabling PGM Host with a Physical Interface

To enable PGM Host globally on the router and to configure the router to source PGM packets through a physical interface, use the following commands in global configuration mode:

 

Command

Purpose

Step 1

 

 

Router(config)# ip pgm host

Enables PGM Host (both the source and receiver part of the PGM

 

 

network layer) globally on the router.

Step 2

 

 

Router(config)# ip pgm host

Configures the router to source PGM packets through a physical (or

 

source-interface type number

logical) interface.

 

 

 

See the “PGM Host with a Physical Interface Example” section later in this chapter for an example of enabling PGM Host with a physical interface.

Verifying PGM Host Configuration

Note Support for the PGM Host feature has been removed. Use of this feature is not recommended.

To verify that PGM Host is configured correctly on your router, use the following show commands in EXEC mode:

Use the show ip pgm host sessions command to display information about current open PGM transport sessions:

Router> show ip pgm host sessions
