Configuring PIM Features
To configure a static multicast route for PIM, enter the following command:
hostname(config)# mroute src_ip src_mask input_if_name [distance]
To configure a static multicast route for a stub area, enter the following command:
hostname(config)# mroute src_ip src_mask input_if_name [dense output_if_name] [distance]
Note
The dense output_if_name keyword and argument pair is only supported for stub multicast routing.
Configuring PIM Features
Routers use PIM to maintain forwarding tables for forwarding multicast diagrams. When you enable
multicast routing on the security appliance, PIM and IGMP are automatically enabled on all interfaces.
PIM is not supported with PAT. The PIM protocol does not use ports and PAT only works with protocols
Note
that use ports.
