PIM Mode-Independent Configuration Overview

This chapter discusses Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) features that you can configure on an interface regardless of its PIM mode (sparse, dense, or sparse-dense mode).

If you configure PIM on an aggregated (ae- or as-) interface, each of the interfaces in the aggregate is included in the multicast output interface list and carries the single stream of replicated packets in a load-sharing fashion. The multicast aggregate interface is “expanded” into its constituent interfaces in the next-hop database. For information about aggregate interfaces, see the Junos Network Interfaces Configuration Guide.
