Enabling IP Protocol-Independent Multicast (PIM) on Layer 3 Interfaces
You must enable PIM on the Layer 3 interfaces before enabling IP multicast Layer 3 switching functions
on those interfaces.
Beginning in global configuration mode, follow these steps to enable IP PIM on a Layer 3 interface.
SUMMARY STEPS
1. interface vlan vlan-id
2. ip pim {dense-mode | sparse-mode | sparse-dense-mode}
DETAILED STEPS
The following example shows how to enable PIM on an interface using the default mode
(sparse-dense-mode):
Router(config-if)#ip pim sparse-dense-mode
Router(config-if)#
The following example shows how to enable PIM sparse mode on an interface:
Router(config-if)#ip pim sparse-mode
Router(config-if)#
Verifying IP Multicast Layer 3 Switching Summary
Note The show interface statistics command does not verify hardware-switched packets. It only verifies
packets switched by software.
The show ip pim interface count command verifies the IP multicast Layer 3 switching enable state on
IP PIM interfaces and the number of packets received and sent on the interface.
Use the following show commands to verify IP multicast Layer 3 switching information for an IP PIM
Layer 3 interface.
Step 1 Router#show ip pim interface count
State:* - Fast Switched, D - Distributed Fast Switched
Command Purpose
Step 1
interface vlan vlan-id
Example:
Router(config)#interface vlan 1
Selects the interface to be configured.
Step 2
ip pim {dense-mode | sparse-mode |
sparse-dense-mode}
Example:
Router(config-if)#ip pim dense-mode
Enables IP PIM on a Layer 3 interface.
