PIM-DM Setup

Protocol Independent Multicast-Dense Mode (PIM-DM) is used for multicast routing between remote sites.

You can manage and configure PIM-DM routing from the PIM-DM Setup page (Network > Configuration > IGMP). The IP Interfaces Setup table lists the existing IP interfaces on the device, and indicates whether PIM-DM is enabled or disabled on this IP interface. From this page you can:

•View the current PIM-DM configuration for the device and the current state of PIM-DM for each IP interface.

•Configure the global PIM-DM setup parameters for the device.

PIM-DM must be enabled on interfaces that are connected to another multicast router that separates the device from clients using multicast traffic.

•Edit the PIM-DM configuration for an IP interface.
