Parameter Description
Interface Name
This read-only field denotes the IP interface selected to be configured for PIM.
IP Address
This read-only field denotes the IP address of the IP interface selected to be configured for
PIM.
Designated Router
This read-only field denotes the IP address of the Designated Router of the distribution tree to
which this IP address belongs.
Hello Interval (1-
18724 sec)
This field will set the interval time between the sending of Hello Packets from this IP interface
to neighboring routers one hop away. These Hello packets are used to discover other PIM
enabled routers and state their priority as the Designated Router (DR) on the PIM enabled
network. The user may state an interval time between 1 and 18724 seconds with a default
interval time of 30 seconds.
Join/Prune Interval
(1-18724 sec)
This field will set the interval time between the sending of Join/Prune packets stating which
multicast groups are to join the PIM enabled network and which are to be removed or
“pruned” from that group. The user may state an interval time between 1 and 18724 seconds
with a default interval time of 60 seconds.
DR Priority (0-
4294967294)
Enter the priority of this IP interface to become the Designated Router for the multiple access
network. The user may enter a DR priority between 0 and 4,294,967,294 with a default setting
of 1.
Mode
Use the pull-down menu to select the type of PIM protocol to use, Sparse Mode (SM), Dense
Mode (DM), or Sparse-Dense Mode (SM-DM). The default setting is DM.
State
Use the pull-down menu to enable or disable PIM for this IP interface. The default is Disabled.
Click Apply to implement changes made.
PIM Candidate BSR Settings
The following windows are used to configure the Candidate Boot Strap Router settings for the switch and the priority of the
selected IP interface to become the Boot Strap Router (BSR) for the PIM enabled network. The Boot Strap Router holds the
information which determines which router on the network is to be elected as the RP for the multicast group and then to gather
and distribute RP information to other PIM-SM enabled routers.
To view this window, click L3 Features > IP Multicast Routing Protocol > PIM > PIM Candidate BSR Settings, as shown
below:
