Configuring Multicast Connectivity on the CE Routers

To configure PIM for the master routing instance on all CE routers, include statements at the [edit protocols pim] hierarchy level:

1. Configure the interfaces going toward the provider router acting as the RP by including the interface statement at the [edit protocols pim] hierarchy level. In Figure 35, the interfaces are labeled A and B.
2. Configure PIM version 2 by including the version statement at the [edit protocols pim interface interface-name] hierarchy level.
3. Configure sparse mode or sparse-dense mode (the mode in which the PIM interfaces operate) by including the mode statement at the [edit protocols pim interface interface-name] hierarchy level.
4. Configure the RP address by including the static statement at the [edit protocols pim rp] hierarchy level. In Figure 35, CE2 is the RP router; however, the RP router can be anywhere in the customer network.

Figure 35 shows multicast connectivity on the customer edge.
