Enable PIM-DM globally

STEP 1

STEP 2

STEP 3

STEP 4

Check Enable PIM-DM.

Note You must enable PIM-DM globally in order to run it on an interface.

Enter a value between 1 and 600 seconds (default 30 seconds) for the Query Interval.

Optionally, enter a value between 1 and 900 seconds (default 180 seconds) for the Prune Timeout.

Prune Timeout alleviates some PIM-DM flood problems. A prune delay is introduced, allowing the first multicast packet to flood to all sites. Subsequent multicast packets to that multicast group are then dropped until most prunes have returned from remote devices, when the multicast stream is released again.

Click Apply to save the change.

Enable Firewall Rules to allow PIM-DM to/from this-devicefor the relevant zones.
