Huawei quidway s7700 - Configuring PIM Silent

CAUTION
If PIM silent is enabled on the interface connected to a switch, the PIM neighbor relationship
cannot be set up and a multicast fault may occur.
If the host network segment is connected to multiple switchs and PIM silent is enabled on
multiple interfaces, the interfaces become static DRs. Therefore, multiple DRs exist in this
network segment, and a fault occurs.
Pre-configuration Tasks
Before configuring PIM silent, complete the following tasks:
l Configuring a unicast routing protocol to make the network layer reachable
l Configuring PIM-SM
l Configuring IGMP
Data Preparation
To configure PIM silent, you need the following data.
No.
Data
1 The number of the interface connected to hosts
6.14.2 Configuring PIM Silent
After the interface is configured with PIM silent, it is forbidden to receive or forward any PIM
protocol packet. All PIM neighbors and PIM state machines on this interface are deleted. Then,
this interface automatically becomes the DR. IGMP on the interface is not affected.
Context
Do as follows on the interface connected to the host network segment:
Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view
The system view is displayed.
Step 2 Run:
interface interface-type interface-number
The interface view is displayed.
The interface can be a VLANIF interface, or an Loopback interface.
Step 3 Run:
