Configuring PIM-SM
Configuration Notes
- Enable IP routing function before using this feature, for details please refer to Configuring IP Routing.
- Currently, only one scope zone is supported, configuring multiple multicast scope zones is not supported.、
- Only PIM-SM and PIM-SSM are supported, PIM-DM is not supported.
Procedure
Step1 Configure VLAN interface.
a) Configure VLAN ID.
set vlans vlan-id <vlan-id>
b) Assign VLAN to physical port.
set interface gigabit-ethernet <port> family ethernet-switching native-vlan-id <vlan-id>
c) Associate a Layer 3 interface with a VLAN.
set vlans vlan-id <vlan-id> l3-interface <interface-name>
d) Configure the IP address of the Layer 3 VLAN interface.
set l3-interface vlan-interface <interface-name> address <address> prefix-length <number>
Step2 Enable IP routing.
set ip routing enable <true | false>
Step3 Enable IGMP on the L3 VLAN interfaces of the PIM router connected to the receiver.
set protocols igmp interface <interface-name>
Step4 Enable PIM-SM on the L3 VLAN interfaces.
set protocols pim interface <interface-name> sm
Step5 Configure static RPs.
a) Configure the IP address of a static RP.
set protocols pim rp <rp-address>
b) Assign the group prefix address served by the static RP.
set protocols pim rp <rp-address> group <IPv4Net>
Step6 (Optional) Adjust the PIM protocol parameters in Hello message.
set protocols pim interface <interface-name> drpriority <dr-priority>
set protocols pim interface <interface-name> hello interval<interval>
Step7 (Optional) Configure SPT switchover function.
a) Enable the SPT switchover function.
set protocols pim spt-switchover
b) Configure the SPT Switchover filter list to filter updates to/from this neighbor.
set protocols pim spt-switchover infinity-and-beyond prefix-list <text>
