PIM for IPv4 multicast routing

Protocol-Independent Multicast (PIM) is a standard multicast routing protocol that
provides scalable interdomain multicast routing across the Internet, independent of
any particular unicast routing protocol.

You can configure the various PIM settings for IPv4 multicast routing and display the
PIM statistics.

Configure the global PIM IPv4 settings on
the switch

Depending on your IPv4 network needs, you can globally enable PIM Sparse Mode
(PIM-SM) or PIM Dense Mode (PIM-DM) on the switch.

To configure the global PIM IPv4 settings on the switch:

1. Launch a web browser.

2. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.

If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see Log in to the main UI with a web
browser
on page 27 and the subsections.

The login page displays.

3. Click the Main UI Login button.

The main UI login page displays in a new tab.

4. Enter admin as the user name, enter your local device password, and click the Login

button.

The first time that you log in, no password is required. However, you then must
specify a local device password to use each subsequent time that you log in.

The System Information page displays.
