History
Usage
Information
Because PIM-SM snooping is used in a Layer 2 environment, PIM-SM snooping and PIM multicast
routing are mutually exclusive. PIM-SM snooping cannot be enabled on a switch/router if PIM-SM or
PIM-DM is enabled.
If enabled at the global level, PIM-SM snooping is automatically enabled on all VLANs unless the no
ip pim snooping command has been entered on a VLAN.
If enabled at the VLAN level, PIM-SM snooping requires that you also enter the no shutdown
command to enable the interface.
PIM-SM snooping is supported with IGMP snooping, and forwards the IGMP report on the port that
connects to the PIM DR. It is recommended that you do not enable IGMP snooping on a PIM-SM
snooping-enabled VLAN interface unless until it is necessary for VLAN operation.
PIM-SM snooping listens to PIM hello and PIM-SM join and prune messages while maintaining the
VLAN- and port-specific information in multicast packets that are snooped.
To display information about the operation of PIM-SM snooping on a switch, enter the show ip pim
summary
command.
