IP Multicast Optimization: PIM Dense Mode State Refresh

How to Configure PIM Dense Mode State Refresh

Configuring PIM Dense Mode State Refresh

There are no configuration tasks for enabling the PIM Dense Mode State Refresh feature. By default, all PIM
routers that are running a Cisco IOS XE software release that supports the PIM Dense Mode State Refresh
feature automatically process and forward state refresh control messages.
To disable the processing and forwarding of state refresh control messages on a PIM router, use the ip pim
state-refresh disableglobal configuration command. To enable state refresh again if it has been disabled, use
the no ip pim state-refresh disableglobal configuration command.
The origination of state refresh control messages is disabled by default. To configure the origination of the
control messages on a PIM router, use the following commands beginning in global configuration mode:
Command
Router(config)#
Router(config-if)#
origination-interval

Verifying PIM Dense Mode State Refresh Configuration

Use the show ip pim interface [type number] detail and the show ip pim neighbor [interface] commands
to verify that the PIM Dense Mode State Refresh feature is configured correctly. The following output of the
show ip pim interface [type number] detail command indicates that processing, forwarding, and origination
of state refresh control messages is enabled.
