Configuration prerequisites

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

Configure a unicast routing protocol so that all devices in the domain can reach each other.

Determine the IP address of a static RP and the ACL that defines the range of the multicast groups
to which the static RP is designated.

Determine the C-RP priority and the ACL that defines the range of multicast groups to which each
C-RP is designated.

Determine the legal C-RP address range and the ACL that defines the range of multicast groups to
which the C-RP is designated.

Determine the C-RP-Adv interval.

Determine the C-RP timeout timer.

Determine the C-BSR priority.

Determine the hash mask length.

Determine the ACL defining the legal BSR address range.

Determine the BS period.

Determine the BS timeout timer.

Enabling PIM-SM

Because BIDIR-PIM is implemented on the basis of PIM-SM, you must enable PIM-SM before enabling
BIDIR-PIM. To deploy a BIDIR-PIM domain, enable PIM-SM on all non-border interfaces of the domain.

IMPORTANT:

On a router, all interfaces in the same VPN instance must operate in the same PIM mode.
