PIM Protocol — Select PIM-DM or PIM-SM. Only one PIM protocol can be enabled on the switch at
a time. If you select PIM-SM, additional fields appear.

Admin Mode — Select Enable or Disable from the drop-down menu to set the administrative status
of PIM on the system. The default is Disable.
•
Data Threshold Rate — If PIM-SM is selected as the protocol, enter the minimum source data rate in
K bits/second above which the last-hop router switches to a source-specific shortest path tree. The
valid values are from 0 to 2000 K bits/sec. The default value is 0. This field is not available for PIM-
DM.
•
Register Threshold Rate — If PIM-SM is selected as the protocol, enter the minimum source data rate
in K bits/second above which the Rendezvous Point router switches to a source-specific shortest path
tree. The valid values are from 0 to 2000 K bits/sec. The default value is 0. This field is not available for
