How to enable multicast routing (PIM) on SecurePlatform Pro

[_d3nx]

I have enabled PIM dense mode using router command as below

secureplaformpro#router
router>en
router#conf t
router(config)# int eth0
router(config-if)# ip pim dense-mode
router(config-if)# exit
router(config)# int eth1
router(config-if)# ip pim dense-mode
router(config-if)# exit

But i am still facing problem to forward multicast packets between networks. Do i need to enter any other command in order to activate pim dense-mode on the interface.

Hi, we're having the same problem. We've enabled multicast as shown but cannot get it to work:

router>en
router#conf t
router(config)#ip pim enable
router(config)#ip pim rp-address x.x.x.x group 224.0.0.0/4
router(config)# int eth0
router(config-if)# ip pim sparse-mode
router(config-if)# exit
router(config)# int eth1
router(config-if)# ip pim sparse-mode
router(config-if)# exit

The command "show ip pim nei" shows nothing. We also get error messages when entering the "ip pim sparse-mode" interface command although it does show up in the "show run" output. We're using secureplatformpro R60. Any ideas?

You'll also need to enable ip igmp on the interfaces.
Try that and see.

Thanks.
