PIM Configuration Examples

The following is a simple PIM configuration using the virtual Loopback interface 0 and physical interface FastEthernet 1. Configuring a Loopback interface is a safer way to ensure PIM routers discover each other since specifying a physical IP address could result in a router being ignored if the network connection through that interface is down. On the other hand, configuring a physical interface is beneficial if you want a particular network path verified as connected. Only the following commands are required if you do not wish to change PIM default values.

XSR(config)#interface FastEthernet1

XSR(config-if<F1>)#ip address 192.168.49.2 255.255.255.0

XSR(config-if<F1>)#ip pim sparse-mode

XSR(config-if<F1>)#no shutdown

XSR(config)#interface Loopback0

XSR(config-if<L0>)#ip address 1.1.1.57 255.255.255.255

XSR(config-if<L0>)#ip pim sparse-mode

XSR(config-if<L0>)#no shutdown

XSR(config)#ip multicast-routing

XSR(config)#ip pim bsr-candidate Loopback0 30 57

XSR(config)#ip pim rp-candidate Loopback0 priority 57
