Associate an Interface to a PIM Component

Associating an interface with PIM doesn't necessarily enable PIM on that interface. To enable PIM over an interface, you must configure a PIM query interval (see Configuring PIM Query Intervals).

This example associates VLAN 5 to PIM 1.

1. Enable PIM globally.

   SEFOS# configure terminal
   SEFOS(config)# set ip pim enable
   

2. Enter Interface Configuration mode for the interface.

   SEFOS(config)# interface vlan 5
   

3. Associate the interface with PIM component.

   SEFOS(config-if)# ip pim componentId 1
   SEFOS(config-if)# end
   

4. View the PIM interface status.

   SEFOS# show ip pim interface detail
