7.9.5 Configuring Neighbor Check

If PIM neighbor check is enabled, a device checks whether the Join/Prune and Assert messages
are sent to or received from PIM neighbors. If not, the device drops the messages.
Context
By default, checking whether the Join/Prune message and Assert messages are sent to or received
from a PIM neighbor is not enabled.
If PIM neighbor checking is required, it is recommended to configure the neighbor checking
function on the devices connected with user devices rather than on the internal devices of the
network. Then, the switch checks whether the Join/Prune and Assert messages are sent to or
received from a PIM neighbor. If not, the switch drops the messages.
Do as follows on the switch enabled with PIM-SM:
Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view
The system view is displayed.
Step 2 Run:
pim
The PIM view is displayed.
Step 3 Run:
neighbor-check { receive | send }
The neighbor check function is configured.
You can specify both receive and send to enable the PIM neighbor check function for the
received and sent Join/Prune and Assert messages.

7.9.6 Checking the Configuration

After control parameters for multicast data forwarding are adjusted, you can check information
about the PIM interface and the PIM routing table and statistics about PIM control messages
through commands.
