G8264CS Application Guide for ENOS 8.4
To use PIM the following is required:
 The PIM feature must be enabled globally on the switch.
 PIM network components and PIM modes must be defined.
 IP interfaces must be configured for each PIM component.
 PIM neighbor filters may be defined (optional).
 If PIM‐SM is used, define additional parameters:
Rendezvous Point

Designated Router preferences (optional)

Bootstrap Router preferences (optional)

Each of these tasks is covered in the following sections.
Note: In ENOS 8.4, PIM can be configured through the ISCLI only. PIM
configuration and information are not available using the menu‐based CLI, the
BBI, or via SNMP.
By default, PIM is disabled on the switch. PIM can be globally enabled or disabled
using the following commands:
RS 8264CS(config)# [no] ip pim enable
The G8264CS can be attached to a maximum of two independent PIM network
components. Each component represents a different PIM network, and can be
defined for either PIM‐SM or PIM‐DM operation. Basic PIM component
configuration is performed using the following commands:
RS 8264CS(config)# ip pim component <1‐2>
RS 8264CS(config-ip-pim-comp)# mode {sparse|dense}
RS 8264CS(config-ip-pim-comp)# exit
The sparse option will place the component in Sparse Mode (PIM‐SM). The
dense option will place the component in Dense Mode (PIM‐DM). By default, PIM
component 1 is configured for Sparse Mode. PIM component 2 is unconfigured by
default.
Note: A component using PIM‐SM must also be configured with a dynamic or
static Rendezvous Point (see "Specifying the Rendezvous Point" on page
Each network attached to an IP interface on the switch may be assigned one of the
available PIM components. The same PIM component can be assigned to multiple
IP interfaces. The interfaces may belong to the same VLAN, and they may also
belong to different VLANs as long as their member IP addresses do not overlap.
