Configuring PIM Connectivity Between the Provider and PE Routers

To configure PIM on the main routing instance for all provider and PE routers, include statements at the [edit protocols pim] hierarchy level:

  1. Configure the interfaces between each provider router and the PE routers by including the interface statement at the [edit protocols pim] hierarchy level. On all PE routers, enable PIM version 2 and sparse mode on interface lo0 of the PE routers, either by configuring that specific interface or by including the statement set version 2 mode sparse for interface all at the [edit protocols pim] hierarchy level on a PE router.
  2. Configure PIM version 2 by including the version statement at the [edit protocols pim interface interface-name] hierarchy level.
  3. Configure sparse 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 34, the provider router is the RP.

Figure 34 shows a multicast configuration on the provider network.
