PIM Configuration Guidelines

To configure PIM, include the pim statement at the [edit protocols] hierarchy level:

[edit]

protocols {

    pim {

        dense-groups {

            addresses;

        }

        disable;

        import [ policy-names ];

        interface interface-name {

            disable;

            hello-interval seconds;

            mode (dense | sparse | sparse-dense);

            priority number;

            version version; 

        }

        rib-group group-name;

        rp {

            auto-rp (announce | discovery | mapping);

            bootstrap-export [ policy-names ];

            bootstrap-import [ policy-names ];

            bootstrap-priority number; 

            local {

                family (inet | inet6) {

                    disable;

                    address address;

                    group-ranges {

                        destination-mask;

                    }

                    hold-time seconds;

                    priority number;

                }

            }

            static {

                address address {

                    version version;

                    group-ranges {

                        destination-mask;

        }

        traceoptions {

            file name <replace> <size size> <files number> <no-stamp> 

                <(world-readable | no-world-readable)>;

            flag flag <flag-modifier> <disable>; 

        }

    } 

} 

By default, PIM is disabled.
