After you have enabled PIM on a VLAN, use the following procedure to view and edit PIM VLAN parameters from the PIM Interfaces tab accessible under the IP Routing menu. This procedure does not provide more configuration options than are available under the VLAN menu, but it does allow you to view some additional PIM parameters (such as DR) and also to view the configuration for multiple VLANs at once.
The following table describes the fields of the Interfaces tab.
Field | Description |
---|---|
IfIndex | Specifies the VLANs configured for PIM-SM. |
Address | Specifies the IP address of the PIM-SM VLAN. |
NetMask | Specifies the network mask for the PIM-SM VLAN. |
Enable | Specifies the status of PIM-SM on the VLAN: enabled (true) or disabled (false). |
Mode | Specifies the PIM mode: sparse mode or source specific multicast mode. |
DesignatedRouter | Specifies the router with the highest IP address on a LAN designated to perform the DR tasks. |
HelloInterval | Specifies the interval (in seconds) the switch waits between sending hello message to neighboring switches. The default is 30 seconds. |
JoinPruneInterval | Specifies the interval (in seconds) the switch waits between sending join/prune message to its upstream neighbors. The default is 60 seconds. |
CBSRPreference | Specifies the preference for this local interface to become a C-BSR. The C-BSR with the highest BSR-priority and address is the preferred BSR. The default is –1, which indicates that the current interface is not a C-BSR. |
InterfaceType | Specifies the type of interface: active or passive. |
OperState | Indicates the operating status of PIM-SM on this interface: up or down. |
