connected to Multicast source indicated by Unicast routing, then this Multicast packet is

considered to be from the correct path. Otherwise the Multicast packet is to be discarded as

redundant message. The Unicast routing message used as path judgment can root in any
Unicast Routing Protocol, such as messages found by RIP, OSPF, etc. It doesn’t rely on any

specific Unicast Routing Protocol.

4. Assert Mechanism

If each of two Multicast routers A and B on the same LAN segment has a receiving route

respectively and both will transmit the Multicast packet to the LAN after receiving the Multicast

data packet sent by the Multicast Source S, then the downstream node Multicast router C will

receive two exactly same Multicast packets. The router needs to choose a unique transmitter

through Assert mechanism after it detects this situation. An optimal transmission path is

selected through sending out Assert packet. If the priority and cost of two or more path are

same, then the node with larger IP address is taken as the upstream neighbor of the (S, G)

entry and in charge of the transmission of the (S, G) Multicast packet.

5. Graft

When the pruned downstream node needs to recover to transmission status, this node uses

Graft Packet to notify upstream nodes to restore multicast data transmission.

28.2.2 PIM-DM Configuration Task List

Enable PIM-DM (Required)

Configure static multicast routing entries(Optional)

Configure additional PIM-DM parameters(Optional)

Configure the interval for PIM-DM hello messages

Configure the interval for state-refresh messages

Configure the boundary interfaces

Configure the management boundary

Disable PIM-DM protocol

1. Enable the PIM-DM protocol

When configuring the PIM-DM protocol on QTECH series Layer 3 switches, PIM multicasting

should be enabled globally, then PIM-DM can be enabled for specific interfaces.

Command

Explanation

Global Mode

ip pim multicast-routing

no ip pim multicast-routing

To enable PIM-DM globally for all the interfaces

(However, in order to make PIM-DM work for specific

interfaces, the following command should be issued).

And then turn on PIM-SM switch on the interface
