Configuration prerequisites

Before you configure BIDIR-PIM, configure a unicast routing protocol so that all devices in the
domain can interoperate 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. As a best practice, enable PIM-SM on all non-border interfaces of routers when
you deploy a BIDIR-PIM domain.
IMPORTANT:
All interfaces on a device must be enabled with the same PIM mode.
To enable BIDIR-PIM:
Step
Enter system view.
1.
Enable IP multicast routing
2.
and enter MRIB view.
Return to system view.
3.
Enter interface view.
4.
Enable PIM-SM.
5.
Return to system view.
6.
Enter PIM view.
7.
Enable BIDIR-PIM.
8.
Configuring an RP:
Enabling Auto-RP listening
Configuring the maximum number of
BSR:
Configuring a C-BSR
Configuring a PIM domain border
Disabling BSM semantic fragmentation

Remarks
You must configure a static RP, a C-RP,
or both in a BIDIR-PIM domain.
Skip the task of configuring a BSR on a
network without C-RPs.
