Table 7-1 Enable PIM-SM
Operation Command
Enable PIM-SM on an interface
pim sm
Disable PIM-SM on an interface
undo pim sm
Repeat this configuration to enable PIM-SM on other interfaces. Only one multicast
routing protocol can be enabled on an interface at a time.
Once enabled PIM-SM on an interface, PIM-DM cannot be enabled on the same
interface and vice versa.
7.2.3 Configure the Interface Hello Message Interval
Generally, PIM-SM advertises Hello messages periodically on the interface enabled
with it to detect PIM neighbors and discover which router is the Designated Router
(DR).
Perform the following configuration in VLAN interface view.
Table 7-2 Configure the interface hello message interval
Operation Command
Configure the interface hello message interval
pim timer hello seconds
Restore the interval to the default value
undo pim timer hello
By default, the hello message interval is 30 seconds. Users can configure the value
according to different network environments.
This configuration can be performed only after the PIM (PIM-DM or PIM-SM) is enabled
in VLAN interface view.
7.2.4 Configure the PIM-SM Domain Border
After the PIM-SM domain border is configured, bootstrap messages cannot cross the
border in any direction. In this way, the PIM-SM domain can be split.
Perform the following configuration in VLAN interface view.
Table 7-3 Configure the PIM-SM domain border
Operation Command
