Networking Requirements
Figure 1. PIM over GRE Tunnel Configuration Example
As shown in Figure 1, multicast services are deployed in the network. Switch B does not support multicast protocols, so multicast traffic needs to be transmitted between Switch A and Switch C through a GRE tunnel.
Follow the configuration roadmap below to configure PIM over GRE tunnel.
- Run OSPF route protocol on Switch A, Switch B and Switch C for underlay communication.
- Create GRE tunnel interfaces on Switch A and Switch C to establish a GRE tunnel; Run BGP route protocol on GRE tunnel interfaces.
- Enable PIM function on the GRE tunnel interfaces to enable the transmission of multicast packets by the GRE tunnel.

Verifying the Configuration
- After the configuration is complete, run run show pim interface to view the configuration and operation state of PIM on an interface.
admin@switchA# run show pim interface Interface State Address PIM Nbrs PIM DR FHR IfChannels tnl0 up 10.40.1.1 1 10.40.1.2 0 2 pimreg up 0.0.0.0 0 local 0 0 vlan11 up 10.1.1.2 0 local 0 0 admin@switchC# run show pim interface Interface State Address PIM Nbrs PIM DR FHR IfChannels tnl0 up 10.40.1.2 1 local 0 0 pimreg up 0.0.0.0 0 local 0 0 vlan44 up 10.2.1.2 0 local 0 2
- Run command run show l3-interface tunnel to display information about the GRE tunnel interface.
admin@SwitchA# run show l3-interface tunnel tnl0 tnl0 State:UP Tunnel Source: 100.100.100.100 Tunnel Destnation: 200.200.200.200 Tunnel protocol/transport: gre-ip Inet addr: 10.40.1.1 Traffic statistics: 5 sec input rate IPv4 1200 packets/sec, IPv6 0 packets/sec 5 sec forwarding rate IPv4 80 packets/sec, IPv6 0 packets/sec IPv4 Input Packets............................28 IPv4 Forwarding Packets.......................5 IPv6 Input Packets............................0 IPv6 Forwarding Packets.......................0
- Run commands run show pim neighbor and run show pim rp-info to that the PIM neighbor information and RP information have been generated correctly.
admin@switchA# run show pim neighbor Interface Neighbor Uptime Holdtime DR Pri tnl0 10.40.1.2 03:10:40 00:01:34 1 admin@switchA# run show pim rp-info RP address group/prefix-list OIF I am RP Source Group-Type 10.40.1.1 225.0.0.0/8 tnl0 yes Static ASM
- In this example, multicast source 10.1.1.5 sends multicast information to multicast group 225.0.0.2. The multicast routing table generated by PIM protocol can be viewed through the run show mroute command, which shows that multicast traffic can be transmitted through the GRE tunnel.
admin@switchA# run show mroute IP Multicast Routing Table Flags: S - Sparse, C - Connected, P - Pruned R - SGRpt Pruned, F - Register flag, T - SPT-bit set Source Group Flags Proto Input Output TTL Uptime * 225.0.0.2 S none tnl0 none 0 --:--:-- 10.1.1.5 225.0.0.2 SFT PIM vlan11 pimreg 1 02:59:50 STAR tnl0 1 admin@switchC# run show mroute IP Multicast Routing Table Flags: S - Sparse, C - Connected, P - Pruned R - SGRpt Pruned, F - Register flag, T - SPT-bit set Source Group Flags Proto Input Output TTL Uptime * 225.0.0.2 SC IGMP tnl0 pimreg 1 03:07:44 IGMP vlan44 1 10.1.1.5 225.0.0.2 ST STAR tnl0 vlan44 1 03:07:17
