Restarting The Pim And Pim6 Processes; Restarting The Pim Process (Pim) - Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Configuration Manual

Configuring PIM and PIM6
Step 8
Step 9

Restarting the PIM and PIM6 Processes

You can restart the PIM and PIM6 processes and optionally flush all routes. By default, routes are not flushed.
When routes are flushed, they are removed from the Multicast Routing Information Base (MRIB and M6RIB)
and the Multicast Forwarding Information Base (MFIB and M6FIB).
When you restart PIM or PIM6, the following tasks are performed:
• The PIM database is deleted.
• The MRIB and MFIB are unaffected and forwarding of traffic continues.
• The multicast route ownership is verified through the MRIB.
• Periodic PIM join and prune messages from neighbors are used to repopulate the database.

Restarting the PIM Process (PIM)

Before you begin
Ensure that you have installed the Enterprise Services license and enabled PIM.
