The following table describes the fields of the PIM tab.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Enable | Enables or disables PIM-SM on the VLAN. |
| Mode | Displays the PIM mode on the switch: sparse mode or source specific multicast mode. |
| HelloInterval | Specifies the interval (in seconds) that the PIM router waits between sending out hello message to neighboring routers. The default is 30 seconds. |
| JoinPruneInterval | Specifies the interval (in seconds) the PIM router waits between sending out 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 state (active or passive) of PIM on a VLAN interface. An active interface transmits and receives PIM control traffic. A passive interface drops all PIM control traffic, thereby reducing the load on the system. Passive interfaces are useful when you have a high number of PIM interfaces and these interfaces are connected to end users, not to other switches. By default, PIM-SM interfaces are active. |
