Enabling PIM-DM

To enable a FW to set up PIM neighbor relationships with other devices, enable PIM-DM on an interface of the FW.

Context

PIM-DM and PIM-SM cannot both be enabled on an interface. All interfaces in the same instance on a FW must run the same PIM mode. When FWs reside in PIM-DM domains, enable PIM-SM on all non-boundary interfaces.

Procedure

  1. Access the system view.

    system-view

  2. Access the interface view.

    interface interface-type interface-number

  3. Enable PIM-DM.

    pim dm

    After PIM-DM is enabled on the interface and the PIM neighbor relationship is set up between FWs, the protocol packets sent by the PIM neighbors can be processed.

    You can run the undo pim dm command to disable PIM-DM on the interface.
