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
1. Enter system view.
2. Enable IP multicast routing
and enter MRIB view.
3. Return to system view.
4. Enter interface view.
5. Enable PIM-SM.
6. Return to system view.
7. Enter PIM view.
8. Enable BIDIR-PIM.

Configuring an RP

CAUTION:
When both PIM-SM and BIDIR-PIM run on the PIM network, do not use the same RP to provide
services for PIM-SM and BIDIR-PIM. Otherwise, exceptions might occur to the PIM routing table.
An RP can provide services for multiple or all multicast groups. However, only one RP can forward
multicast traffic for a multicast group at a time.
