IPv6 PIM Commands

This section describes the commands you use to configure Protocol Independent Multicast – Dense Mode (PIM-DM) and Protocol Independent Multicast – Sparse Mode (PIM-SM) for IPv6 multicast routing. PIM-DM and PIM-SM are multicast routing protocols that provides scalable inter-domain multicast routing across the Internet, independent of the mechanisms provided by any particular unicast routing protocol. Only one PIM mode can be operational at a time.
