Configuration prerequisites

Before you configure PIM-DM, configure any unicast routing protocol so that all devices in the domain
are interoperable at the network layer

Enabling PIM-DM

Enable IP multicast routing before you configure PIM.
With PIM-DM enabled on interfaces, routers can establish PIM neighbor relationship and process PIM
messages from their PIM neighbors. When you deploy a PIM-DM domain, enable PIM-DM on all
non-border interfaces of the routers.
IMPORTANT:
All the interfaces on a device must operate in the same PIM mode.
To enable PIM-DM:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enable IP multicast routing.
3. Enter interface view.
4. Enable PIM-DM.
