6.(Optional) To configure this interface to use the VRRP virtual IP address, in the Virtual address field, click On.

Note

You must use Monitored Circuit mode when configuring virtual IP support for sparse- mode PIM. Do not use VRRPv2 when configuring virtual IP support for sparse-mode PIM.

7.Click Apply.

8.(Optional) For each interface that is running PIM, enter the specified local address in the Local Address text box. PIM uses this address to send advertisements on the interface. This option is useful only when multiple addresses are configured on the interface.

Note

If neighboring routers choose advertisement addresses that do not appear to be on a shared subnet, then all messages from the neighbor are rejected. A PIM router on a shared LAN must have at least one interface address with a subnet prefix that all neighboring PIM routers share.

9.(Optional) For each interface that is running PIM, enter a new designated router priority in the DR Election Priority text box. The router with the highest priority and the highest IP address is elected as the designated router. To break a tie, the designated router with the highest IP address is chosen. If even one router does not advertise a DR election priority value in its hello messages, DR election is based on the IP addresses. The default is 1, and the range is 0 to 4294967295 (2^32 - 1).

Note

To verify whether a PIM neighbor supports DR Election Priority, use the following command, which you can executed from iclid and CLI:

show pim neighbor <ip_address>

For neighbors that advertise a DR election priority value, the following message appears in the summary:

DRPriorityCapable Yes.

10.Click Apply.

11.To make your changes permanent, click Save.

Configuring High-Availability Mode

Enable the high-availability (HA) mode when two routers are configured to back each other up to forward multicast traffic and sparse-mode PIM is implemented. When this option is enabled, all PIM-enabled interfaces are available only if each interface is up and has a valid address assigned. If any PIM-enabled interface goes down or if all of its valid addresses are deleted, then
