Configuring PIM for IPv4 and IPv6 (Web)
This section provides information about the OpenManage Switch
Administrator pages for configuring and monitoring PIM-SM and PIM-DM
for IPv4 and IPv6 multicast routing on a Dell Networking N2000, N3000, and
N4000 series switches. For details about the fields on a page, click at the
top of the page.
PIM Global Configuration
Use the Global Configuration
page to configure the administrative status of
PIM-DM or PIM-SM on the switch. It is strongly recommended that IGMP
be enabled on any switch on which IPv4 PIM is enabled and MLD be enabled
on any switch for which IPv6 PIM is enabled. This ensures that the multicast
router behaves as expected.
The CLI behavior is different than the web interface. Enabling PIM on an
IPv4 interface via the CLI automatically enables IGMP on the interface.
Likewise, enabling PIM on an IPv6 interface via the CLI automatically
enables MLD on the interface.

NOTE: The OpenManage Switch Administrator pages to configure IPv4 multicast
routing and IPv6 multicast routing is very similar. The figures in this section show
the IPv4 multicast configuration pages. To configure IPv6 multicast with PIM, use
the pages available from the IPv6 Multicast → PIM menu.
