Disabling PIM
By default, when you enable the PIM protocol
it applies to the specified interface only. To enable PIM for all
interfaces, include the all parameter (for example, set protocol pim interface all). You can disable PIM at the
protocol, interface, or family hierarchy levels.
The hierarchy in which you configure PIM is critical. In general, the most specific configuration takes precedence. However, if PIM is disabled at the protocol level, then any disable statements with respect to an interface or family are ignored.
For example, the order of precedence for disabling PIM on a particular interface family is:
If PIM is disabled at the
[edit protocols pim interface interface-name family]hierarchy level, then PIM is disabled for that interface family.If PIM is not configured at the
[edit protocols pim interface interface-name family]hierarchy level, but is disabled at the[edit protocols pim interface interface-name]hierarchy level, then PIM is disabled for all families on the specified interface.If PIM is not configured at either the
[edit protocols pim interface interface-name family]hierarchy level or the[edit protocols pim interface interface-name]hierarchy level, but is disabled at the[edit protocols pim]hierarchy level, then the PIM protocol is disabled globally for all interfaces and all families.
The following sections describe how to disable PIM at the various hierarchy levels.
Disabling the PIM Protocol
You can explicitly disable the PIM protocol. Disabling
the PIM protocol disables the protocol for all interfaces and all
families. This is accomplished at the [edit protocols pim] hierarchy level:
[edit protocols]
pim {
disable;
}
To disable the PIM protocol:

Disabling PIM on an Interface
You can disable the PIM protocol on a per-interface basis.
This is accomplished at the [edit protocols pim interface interface-name] hierarchy level:
[edit protocols]
pim {
interface interface-name {
disable;
}
}

Disabling PIM for a Family
You can disable the PIM protocol on a per-family basis.
This is accomplished at the [edit protocols pim family] hierarchy level:
[edit protocols]
pim {
family inet {
disable;
}
family inet6 {
disable;
}
}

Disabling PIM for a Rendezvous Point
You can disable the PIM protocol for a rendezvous point
(RP) on a per-family basis. This is accomplished at the [edit
protocols pim rp local family] hierarchy level:
[edit protocols]
pim {
rp {
local {
family inet {
disable;
}
family inet6 {
disable;
}
}
}
}
To disable PIM for an RP family:
