Example
This example sets the priority used in the bidding process for the DR.    
Console(config)#interface vlan 1
Console(config-if)#ip pim dr-priority 20
Console(config-if)#end
Console#show ip pim interface
PIM is enabled.
VLAN 1 is up.

Command Usage 
◆ By default, the switch sends join/prune messages every 210 seconds to inform 
other PIM-SM routers about clients who want to join or leave a multicast group. 
◆ Use the same join/prune message interval on all the PIM-SM routers in the 
same PIM-SM domain, otherwise the routing protocol’s performance will be 
adversely affected. 
◆ The multicast interface that first receives a multicast stream from a particular 
source forwards this traffic only to those interfaces on the router that have 
requested to join this group. When there are no longer any requesting groups 
on that interface, the leaf node sends a prune message upstream and enters a
