Command Usage
• To fully enable PIM-DM, you need to enable multicast routing globally
for the router with the ip multicast-routing command (page 4-288),
enable PIM-DM globally for the router with the router pim command
(page 4-302), and also enable PIM-DM for each interface that will
participate in multicast routing with the ip pim dense-mode
command.
• If you enable PIM on an interface, you should also enable IGMP on
that interface.
• Dense-mode interfaces are subject to multicast flooding by default,
and are only removed from the multicast routing table when the router
determines that there are no group members or downstream routers,
or when a prune message is received from a downstream router.
