PGM Router Assist Configuration Task List
To configure PGM Router Assist, perform the required task described in the following section:
Enabling PGM Router Assist (Required)
Prerequisites
Before you enable PGM Router Assist, ensure that the following tasks are completed:
PGM Reliable Transport Protocol is configured on hosts connected to your network.
IP multicast is configured on the router upon which you will enable PGM Router Assist.
PIM is configured on each PGM interface.

Enabling PGM Router Assist

When enabling PGM Router Assist on your router, you must set up your router to forward PGM packets
through a vif or out a physical interface installed in the router.
Setting up your router to forward PGM packets through a vif enables the router to forward PGM packets
through any router interface. The vif also serves as the interface to the multicast applications that reside
at the PGM network layer.
Setting up your router to forward PGM packets out a specific physical or logical interface type (for
example, an Ethernet, serial, or loopback interface) configures the router to forward PGM packets out
that interface only.
