To configure PIM on a routing instance

Purpose

Note: If you are creating a PIM site on a VPRN routing instance, perform To create a PIM site on a VPRN routing instance . See To configure ISIS, L2TP, MLD, OSPFv2, OSPFv3, PIM, RIP, or WPP on a VPRN routing instance for more information about configuring PIM on a VPRN routing instance.

The tabs and parameters that are configurable vary, depending on the NE on which the PIM site resides.

Note: You can use the PIM configuration form to add peers to an anycast RP. The complete configuration of anycast RP for PIM requires additional supporting components, such as the configuration of loopback interfaces and static RPs. Due to the complex configuration dependencies, Nokia recommends that you use the Virtual Anycast manager. The Virtual Anycast manager automatically configures many of the supporting requirements for the protocol, which reduces operator configuration errors and assists in troubleshooting activities. See To configure Anycast PIM on a router for more information about using the Virtual Anycast manager.
