Configuration
Prerequisites
Before configuring PIM-DM, complete the following task:
■ Configure any unicast routing protocol so that all devices in the domain are
interoperable at the network layer.
Before configuring PIM-DM, prepare the following data:
■ The interval between state refresh messages
■ Minimum time to wait before receiving a new refresh message
■ TTL value of state refresh messages
■ Graft retry period
Enabling PIM-DM With PIM-DM enabled, a router sends hello messages periodically to discover PIM
neighbors and processes messages from PIM neighbors. When deploying a
PIM-DM domain, you are recommended to enable PIM-DM on all interfaces of
non-border routers (border routers are PIM-enabled routers located on the
boundary of BSR admin-scope regions).
Follow these steps to enable PIM-DM:
