Checking the Current IPMS Status
To view the current status of IPMS on the switch, use the show ip multicast command.
For example:
-> show ip multicast

Enabling PIM on a Specific Interface
PIM must be enabled on an interface using the ip pim interface command. An interface can be any IP
router port that has been assigned to an existing VLAN. For information on assigning a router port to a
VLAN, refer to the “Configuring VLANs” chapter in the OmniSwitch 6800/6850/9000 Network Configu-
ration Guide.
To enable PIM on a specific interface, use the ip pim interface command. By default, PIM is disabled on
an interface. The interface identifier used in the command syntax is the valid interface name of an existing
VLAN router port. For example:
-> ip pim interface vlan-2
Note. Only one multicast routing protocol is supported per interface. This means that you cannot enable
both DVMRP and PIM on the same interface. Only one of the three protocols is allowed per interface.
Disabling PIM on a Specific Interface
To disable PIM on a specific IP interface, use the no ip pim interface command. Be sure to include the
name of the interface. For example:
-> no ip pim interface vlan-2
