Example: Configuring PIM Sparse-Dense Mode

Configure PIM sparse-dense mode on all interfaces, specifying that the groups 224.0.1.39 and 224.0.1.40 are using dense mode.

All systems on a subnet must run the same version of PIM.

The default PIM version can be version 1 or version 2, depending on the mode you are configuring. PIMv1 is the default for rendezvous point (RP) mode (at the [edit protocols pim rp static address address] hierarchy level). However, PIMv2 is the default for interface mode (at the [edit protocols pim interface interface-name] hierarchy level). Explicitly configured versions override the defaults. This example explicitly configures PIMv1 on the interfaces.
