Required
By default, an interface belongs to
the public network, and is not
bound with any VPN instance.
Enable PIM-DM

Required
Disabled by default.
CAUTION:
•
All the interfaces in the same VPN instance on the same device must work in the same PIM mode.
•
PIM-DM does not work with multicast groups in the SSM group range.

Enabling state-refresh capability
Pruned interfaces resume multicast forwarding when the pruned state times out. To prevent this, the router
with the multicast source attached periodically sends an (S, G) state-refresh message, which is forwarded
hop by hop along the initial multicast flooding path of the PIM-DM domain, to refresh the prune timer
state of all the routers on the path. A multi-access subnet can have the state-refresh capability only if the
state-refresh capability is enabled on all PIM routers on the subnet.
Follow these steps to enable the state-refresh capability:
