Example: PIM-SM The following example configures PIM-SM for IPv4 on a router. First, configure an OSPF1 router and globally enable IP routing, multicast, IGMP, and PIM-SM. Next, configure a PIM-SM rendezvous point with an IP address and group range. The IP address will serve as an RP for the range of potential multicast groups specified in the group range. Finally, enable routing, IGMP, PIM-SM, and OSPF on one or more interfaces. console#configure router ospf router-id 3.3.1.1 exit ip routing ip multicast ip igmp ip pimsm [NOTE: This router should be an RP.] ip pimsm rp-address 1.1.1.1 224.0.0.0 240.0.0.0 interface vlan 15 routing ip address 3.3.3.1 255.255.255.0 ip pimsm ip igmp ip ospf area 0 exit interface vlan 30 routing ip address 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.0 ip pimsm ip igmp ip ospf area 0 exit exit PIM-DM PIM-DM protocol is a simple, protocol-independent multicast routing protocol. It uses existing unicast routing table and join/prune/graft mechanism to build a tree. PIM-DM creates source-based shortestpath distribution trees making use of Reverse Path Forwarding (RPF). PIM-DM cannot be used to build a shared distribution tree, as PIM-SM can. PIM-DM assumes that when a sender starts sending data, all downstream routers and hosts want to receive a multicast datagram. PIM-DM initially floods multicast traffic throughout the network. Routers that do not have any downstream neighbors send back Prune messages that instruct the upstream router to remove that multicast route from its forwarding table. In addition to the Prune messages, PIM-DM makes use of two more messages: Graft and Assert. Graft messages are used whenever a new host wants to join the group. Assert messages are used to shut off duplicate flows onto the same multi-access network. 1. OSPF configuration is added as a unicast protocol for illustration purposes; static unicast routing could also be configured. Multicast 155

First, configure an OSPF

router and globally enable IP routing, multicast, IGMP, and PIM-SM. Next,
configure a PIM-SM rendezvous point with an IP address and group range. The IP address will serve as an
RP for the range of potential multicast groups specified in the group range. Finally, enable routing,
IGMP, PIM-SM, and OSPF on one or more interfaces.

PIM-DM
PIM-DM protocol is a simple, protocol-independent multicast routing protocol. It uses existing unicast
routing table and join/prune/graft mechanism to build a tree. PIM-DM creates source-based shortest-
path distribution trees making use of Reverse Path Forwarding (RPF).
PIM-DM cannot be used to build a shared distribution tree, as PIM-SM can. PIM-DM assumes that
when a sender starts sending data, all downstream routers and hosts want to receive a multicast
datagram. PIM-DM initially floods multicast traffic throughout the network. Routers that do not have
any downstream neighbors send back Prune messages that instruct the upstream router to remove that
multicast route from its forwarding table. In addition to the Prune messages, PIM-DM makes use of two
more messages: Graft and Assert. Graft messages are used whenever a new host wants to join the group.
Assert messages are used to shut off duplicate flows onto the same multi-access network.

OSPF configuration is added as a unicast protocol for illustration purposes; static unicast routing could also be
configured.
