it routing protocol independent. Also note that the Dense Mode version of
PIM is supported on this router because it is suitable for densely populated
multicast groups which occur primarily in the LAN environment.
If DVMRP and PIM-DM are not enabled on this router or another
multicast routing protocol is used on your network, you can manually
configure the switch ports attached to a multicast router (page 3-140).
Configuring Global Settings for Multicast Routing
To use multicast routing on this router, you must first globally enable
multicast routing as described in this section, globally enable DVRMP
(page 3-223) or PIM (page 3-232), and specify the interfaces that will
participate (page 3-227 or 3-233). Note that you can only enable one
multicast routing protocol on any given interface.
Web – Click IP, Multicast Routing, General Setting. Set Multicast
Forwarding Status to Enabled, and click Apply.
CLI – This example enables multicast routing globally for the router.
Console(config)#ip multicast-routing
Console(config)#
Displaying the Multicast Routing Table
You can display information on each multicast route this router has
learned via DVMRP or PIM. The router learns multicast routes from
neighboring routers, and also advertises these routes to its neighbors. The
router stores entries for all paths learned by itself or from other routers,
without considering actual group membership or prune messages. The
routing table therefore does not indicate that the router has processed
multicast traffic from any particular source listed in the table. It uses these
