Description
Configure the PIM mode on the interface.
Options
The choice of PIM mode is closely tied to controlling how groups are mapped to PIM modes, as follows:
bidirectional-sparse—Use if all multicast groups are operating in bidirectional, sparse, or SSM mode.
bidirectional-sparse-dense—Use if multicast groups, except those that are specified in the
dense-groupsstatement, are operating in bidirectional, sparse, or SSM mode.dense—Use if all multicast groups are operating in dense mode.
sparse—Use if all multicast groups are operating in sparse mode or SSM mode.
sparse-dense—Use if multicast groups, except those that are specified in the
dense-groupsstatement, are operating in sparse mode or SSM mode.
Default: Sparse mode
Required Privilege Level
