PIM Configuration Guidelines

To configure Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM), include the pim statement: 

pim {

    assert-timeout seconds;

    dense-groups {

        addresses;

    }

    disable;

    graceful-restart {

        disable;

        restart-duration seconds;

    }

    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);

            (mapping-agent-election | no-mapping-agent-election);

        }

        bootstrap {

            family (inet | inet6) {

                priority number;

                import [ policy-names ];

                export [ policy-names ];

            }

        }

        bootstrap-export [ policy-names ];

        bootstrap-import [ policy-names ];

        bootstrap-priority number;

        dr-register-policy [ policy-names ];

        embedded-rp {

            maximum-rps limit;

            group-ranges {

                destination-mask;

            }

        rp-register-policy [ policy-names ];

        }

        local {

            family (inet | inet6) {

                address address;

                anycast-pim {

                    rp-set {

                        address address [forward-msdp-sa];

                    }

                    local-address address;

                }

                disable;

                group-ranges {

                    destination-mask;

                }

                hold-time seconds;

                priority number;

            }

        }

        static {

            address address {

                version version;

                group-ranges {

                    destination-mask;

    }

    spt-threshold {

        infinity [ spt-threshold-infinity-policies ];

    }

    traceoptions {

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

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

        flag flag <flag-modifier> <disable>; 

    }

}

You can include this statement at the following hierarchy levels:

By default, PIM is disabled.
