If no PIM-SM interfaces have been configured, enable interfaces as needed. For more information about enabling

PIM-SM interfaces, refer to Section13.14.7.2, “Enabling/Disabling a PIM-SM Interface”.

Section13.14.7.2

Enabling/Disabling a PIM-SM Interface

To enable or disable a PIM-SM interface, do the following:

NOTE

Enabling PIM-SM on an interface also enables IGMPv2 on the interface, wherein the interface with the

lowest IP address becomes the IGMP querier and sends periodic query messages every 125 seconds.

1. Make sure the CLI is in Configuration mode.

2. The interface is passive by default. Make it active for PIM-SM by typing:

no interface ifname passive

Where:

• ifname is the name of the interface

• passive determines whether the interface is passive (default) or active (no passive)

NOTE

A maximum of 30 non-passive interfaces can be active for PIM-SM.

3. Make sure the chosen interface is assigned an IP address. For more information, refer to Section7.1,

“Managing IP Addresses for Routable Interfaces”.

4. For VLAN interfaces only, if IGMP snooping is enabled on the interface, make sure the IGMP query interval is

set to 125 seconds. For more information, refer to Section8.4.3.1, “Configuring IGMP Snooping”.

The same is required for any Layer 2 switches on the network.

5. Type commit and press Enter to save the changes, or type revert and press Enter to abort.

Section13.14.8

Managing Static RP Addresses

A commonly used method for locating Rendezvous Points (RPs) is to target them directly by IP address, as opposed

to locating them dynamically. Use static IP addresses when there are only a small number of RPs on the network
