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.
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.
5. Select Routing > Multicast > PIM > Global Configuration.
The Global Configuration page displays.
6. Select one of the following Admin Mode radio buttons:
• Disable: PIM is disabled on the switch. This is the default setting.
• PIM-SM: PIM Sparse Mode is enabled on the switch.
• PIM-DM: PIM Dense Mode is enabled on the switch.
7. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
8. To save the settings to the running configuration, click the Save icon.
Add IPv4 PIM-SSM groups
While PIM employs a specially configured rendezvous point (RP) router that serves as
a meeting junction for multicast senders and listeners, PIM Single-Source Multicast
(PIM-SSM) does not use a rendezvous point (RP). PIM-SSM supports source route delivery
trees only. It is used between routers (including switch router interfaces) so that they
can track which multicast packets to forward to each other and to their directly connected
LANs. You can implement PIM-SSM with a strict subset of the PIM protocol mechanisms.
Both regular IPv4 multicast and SSM can coexist on a single router, and both can be
implemented using the PIM protocol. A range of multicast addresses, 232.0.0.0/8 for
IPv4, is reserved for SSM.
