Configuration prerequisites

Before you configure BIDIR-PIM, configure a unicast routing protocol so that all devices in the domain are
interoperable at the network layer.

Enabling BIDIR-PIM

Because BIDIR-PIM is implemented on the basis of PIM-SM, you must enable PIM-SM before you enable
BIDIR-PIM. When you deploy a BIDIR-PIM domain, HP recommends that you enable PIM-SM on all
non-border interfaces of the domain.
IMPORTANT:
All interfaces on a device must be enabled with the same PIM mode.
To enable BIDIR-PIM:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enable IP multicast
routing and enter MRIB
view.
3. Return to system view.
4. Enter interface view.
Enable PIM-SM.
5.
6. Return to system view.
7. Enter PIM view.
8. Enable BIDIR-PIM.
