Configuration prerequisites

Before you configure PIM-DM, complete the following tasks:

Configure any unicast routing protocol so that all devices in the domain are interoperable at the

network layer.

Determine the interval between state-refresh messages.

Determine the minimum time to wait before receiving a new refresh message.

Determine the TTL value of state-refresh messages.

Determine the graft retry period.

Enabling PIM-DM

With PIM-DM enabled, a router sends hello messages periodically to discover PIM neighbors and

processes messages from the PIM neighbors. When you deploy a PIM-DM domain, enable PIM-DM on

all non-border interfaces of the routers.

Configuration guidelines

When the system is operating in standard mode, you must configure a reserved VLAN before you

configure PIM-DM for a VPN instance. For more information about the system operating mode, see

Fundamentals Configuration Guide. For more information about a reserved VLAN, see MPLS

Configuration Guide and MPLS Command Reference.

All the interfaces of a switch that are in the same VPN instance must share the same PIM mode.

PIM-DM does not work with multicast groups in the SSM group range.
