Configuring PIM

Configure PIM for a VPN, so that multicast VPN routing tables can be created to guide multicast data forwarding.

Context

NG MVPN uses PIM as the multicast routing protocol. Configure PIM-SM on interfaces to allow devices to set up PIM neighbor relationships and create multicast VPN routing tables.

Perform the following steps on PEs' interfaces bound to VPN instances and on CEs' interfaces.

Procedure

  1. Run system-view

    The system view is displayed.

  2. Run multicast routing-enable

    Multicast routing is enabled. This command needs to be run only on the CE.

  3. Run interface interface-type interface-number

    The interface view is displayed.

  4. Run pim sm

    PIM-SM is enabled.

  5. Run commit

    The configuration is committed.
