Enabling PIM for IPv4 on a Virtual Router

By default, PIM is disabled. To enable PIM on a VR:

1. Enable multicast routing. (See Enabling IP Multicast.)
2. Create a VR, or access an existing VR context.
   host1(config)#virtual-router boston
3. Create and enable PIM processing.
   host1:boston(config)#router pim
