To disable multicasting, use the no ip multicast-routing distributed global configuration command. To
return to the default PIM version, use the no ip pim version interface configuration command. To
disable PIM on an interface, use the no ip pim interface configuration command.
OL-12247-04
Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
Enable IP multicast distributed switching.
Specify the Layer 3 interface on which you want to enable multicast
routing, and enter interface configuration mode.
The specified interface must be one of the following:
A routed port: a physical port that has been configured as a Layer 3
•
port by entering the no switchport interface configuration
command.
•
An SVI: a VLAN interface created by using the interface vlan
vlan-id global configuration command.
These interfaces must have IP addresses assigned to them. For more
information, see the
"Configuring Layer 3 Interfaces" section on
page
11-24.
Configure the PIM version on the interface.
By default, Version 2 is enabled and is the recommended setting.
An interface in PIMv2 mode automatically downgrades to PIMv1 mode
if that interface has a PIMv1 neighbor. The interface returns to Version
2 mode after all Version 1 neighbors are shut down or upgraded.
For more information, see the
section on page
44-11.
Enable a PIM mode on the interface.
By default, no mode is configured.
The keywords have these meanings:
•
dense-mode—Enables dense mode of operation.
•
sparse-mode—Enables sparse mode of operation. If you configure
sparse mode, you must also configure an RP. For more information,
see the
"Configuring a Rendezvous Point" section on page
sparse-dense-mode—Causes the interface to be treated in the mode
•
in which the group belongs. Sparse-dense mode is the recommended
setting.
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Verify your entries.
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
