PIM Globals tab fields


Field Description
Mode
Configures the mode on the routing switch: sm (sparse mode).
Enable
Enables or disables PIM. You must globally enable PIM before you can enable port or VLAN PIM.
Mbr (Multicast Border Router)
Configures the router as a PIM multicast border router (PMBR). PMBRs connect PIM domains to other multicast routing domains and the rest of the Internet. In particular, the MBR on 8000 Series switches allow the connection of a PIM-SM domain to a DVMRP domain.
JoinPruneInterval
Specifies how long to wait (in seconds) before the PIM router sends out the next join/prune message to its upstream neighbors.
The default is 60 seconds.
RegisterSuppTimer
Specifies how long (in seconds) the DR suppresses sending registers to the RP. The timer starts when the DR receives a Register Stop message from the RP.
The range is from 5 to 65535, and the default is 60 seconds.
StaticRP
Enables or disables the Static RP feature. Static RP enables you to configure a static entry for a rendezvous point (RP). This feature enables you to communicate with switches from other vendors that do not use the BSR mechanism.
