Configuring PIM Mode-Independent Interface Properties

You can configure the following properties regardless of whether the PIM interface is configured in sparse, dense, or sparse-dense mode:

• Changing the PIM Version
• Configuring the Designated Router Priority
• Configuring Designated Router Election on Point-to-Point Links
• Modifying the Hello Interval
• Configuring Interface-Level Neighbor Policies
• Disabling the PIM Interface

If you configure PIM on an aggregated interface (ae- or as-), each of the interfaces in the aggregate will be included in the multicast output interface list and will carry the single stream of replicated packets in a load-sharing fashion. The multicast aggregate interface will be “expanded” into its constituent interfaces in the next-hop database.

For information about aggregate interfaces, see the JUNOS Network Interfaces Configuration Guide.

For information about configuring the PIM mode on an interface, see Configuring PIM Dense Mode Properties, Configuring PIM Sparse Mode Properties, and Configuring PIM Sparse-Dense Mode Properties.
