â—† This command enables PIM-DM and PIM-SM globally for the router. You also
need to enable PIM-DM or PIM-SM for each interface that will support multicast
routing using the ip pim dense-mode or ip pim sparse mode command, and
make any changes necessary to the multicast protocol parameters.
â—† To use multicast routing, IGMP proxy cannot be enabled on any interface of the
device (see the ip igmp proxy command).
