Example 30 Configuring for PIM support at the global level

Using the topology (Figure 20 (page 95)), router "B" is directly connected to the

DR for multicast group "X." In this case, suppose that you want to globally configure

router "B" for PIM operation. On the global level, you would enable the following:

• IP routing

• IP multicast routing

• An IP routing protocol (RIP, OSPF, or static routing; use RIP for this example)

Figure 12 PIM-SM domain with SPT active to support a host that has joined a

multicast group

Example 31 Global configuration for supporting PIM-SM operation

HP Switch(config)# ip routing

HP Switch(config)# ip multicast-routing

HP Switch(config)# router rip

HP Switch(rip)# exit

HP Switch(config)# router pim

HP Switch(pim)# exit

HP Switch(config)#
