ip pim dense-mode

disable PIM-DM on this interface.
Syntax
[no] ip pim dense-mode
Default Setting
Disabled
Command Mode
Interface Configuration (VLAN)
Command Usage
• To fully enable PIM-DM, you need to enable multicast routing globally for the
router with the ip multicast-routing command (page 4-299), enable PIM-DM
globally for the router with the router pim command (page 4-310), and also
enable PIM-DM for each interface that will participate in multicast routing with
the ip pim dense-mode command.
• If you enable PIM on an interface, you should also enable IGMP on that
interface.
• Dense-mode interfaces are subject to multicast flooding by default, and are
only removed from the multicast routing table when the router determines that
there are no group members or downstream routers, or when a prune
message is received from a downstream router.
