PIM Configuration Statements

To configure PIM, include the pim statement:

pim {disable;default-vpn-source {interface-name interface-name;}assert-timeout seconds;dense-groups {addresses;}dr-election-on-p2p;export;graceful-restart {disable;restart-duration seconds;}import [ policy-names ];interface interface-name {import;hello-interval seconds;mode (dense | sparse | sparse-dense);neighbor-policy [ policy-names ];override-interval milliseconds;priority number;propagation-delay milliseconds;reset-tracking-bit;version version;}join-load-balance;join-prune-timeout;nonstop-routing {disable;}override-interval milliseconds;propagation-delay milliseconds;reset-tracking-bit;rib-group group-name;rp {auto-rp {(announce | discovery | mapping);(mapping-agent-election | no-mapping-agent-election);}bootstrap {family (inet | inet6) {export [ policy-names ];import [ policy-names ];priority number;}}bootstrap-export [ policy-names ];bootstrap-import [ policy-names ];bootstrap-priority number;dr-register-policy [ policy-names ];embedded-rp {group-ranges {destination-ip-prefix</prefix-length>;}maximum-rps limit;}local {family (inet | inet6) {address address;anycast-pim {rp-set {address address <forward-msdp-sa>;}local-address address;}disable;group-ranges {destination-ip-prefix</prefix-length>;}hold-time seconds;priority number;}}rp-register-policy [ policy-names ];static {address address {version version;group-ranges {destination-ip-prefix</prefix-length>;}spt-threshold {infinity [ policy-names ];}traceoptions {file filename <files number> <size size> <world-readable | no-world-readable>;flag flag <flag-modifier> <disable>;}}}}}

You can include this statement at the following hierarchy levels:

[edit protocols]
[edit routing-instance routing-instance-name protocols]
[edit logical-systems logical-system-name protocols]
[edit logical-systems logical-system-name routing-instances routing-instance-name protocols]

By default, PIM is disabled.

Note: You cannot configure PIM within a nonforwarding instance. If you try to do so, the router displays a commit check error and does not complete the configuration commit process.
