Disabling PIM
By default, when configured, the PIM protocol is enabled on all interfaces for all families. If desired, 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:
To disable the PIM protocol:
- Include the disable statement.
user@host# set protocols pim disable - (Optional) Verify your configuration settings before committing
them by using the show protocols pim command.
user@host# run show protocols pim
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:
To disable PIM on an interface:
- Include the disable statement.
user@host# set protocols pim interface fe-0/1/0 disable - (Optional) Verify your configuration settings before committing
them by using the show protocols pim command.
user@host# run show protocols pim
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:
To disable PIM for a family:
- Include the disable statement.
user@host# set protocols pim family inet disableuser@host# set protocols pim family inet6 disable - (Optional) Verify your configuration settings before committing
them by using the show protocols pim command.
user@host# run show protocols pim
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:
To disable PIM for an RP family:
- Use the disable statement.
user@host# set protocols pim rp local family inet disableuser@host# set protocols pim rp local family inet6 disable - (Optional) Verify your configuration settings before committing
them by using the show protocols pim command.
user@host# run show protocols pim
