PIM

The Protocol Independent Multicast - Dense Mode (PIM-DM) protocol should be used in networks with a low delay (low
latency) and high bandwidth as PIM-DM is optimized to guarantee delivery of multicast packets, not to reduce overhead.
The PIM-DM multicast routing protocol is assumes that all downstream routers want to receive multicast messages and
relies upon explicit prune messages from downstream routers to remove branches from the multicast delivery tree that do
not contain multicast group members.
PIM-DM has no explicit 'join' messages. It relies upon periodic flooding of multicast messages to all interfaces and then
either waiting for a timer to expire (the Join/Prune Interval) or for the downstream routers to transmit explicit 'prune'

Description
Displays the name of the IP interface for which DVMRP is to be configured. This must
be a previously defined IP interface.
Displays the IP address corresponding to the IP Interface name entered above.
This field allows an entry between 1 and 65,535 seconds and defines the time period
for DVMRP will hold Neighbor Router reports before issuing poison route messages.
The default is 35 seconds.
This field allows an entry between 1 and 65,535 seconds and defines the interval
between 'probes'. The default is 10.
This field allows an entry between 1 and 31 and defines the route cost for the IP
interface. The DVMRP route cost is a relative number that represents the real cost of
using this route in the construction of a multicast delivery tree. It is similar to, but not
defined as, the hop count in RIP. The default cost is 1.
This field can be toggled between Enabled and Disabled and enables or disables
DVMRP for the IP interface. The default is Disabled.
