Outlines verification steps when a PIM interface is not created for a multicast-enabled bridge domain.

If a PIM interface (pim:if) is not created for a multicast-enabled bridge domain (BD), confirm these requirements:

  • The corresponding BD or corresponding Ctx has PIM enabled.

  • The corresponding BD is pervasive.

  • The pervasive BD-based pim:If takes default parameters.
Note
For interaction with igmp snooping, when PIM is enabled on a pervasive BD, the routing bit should be automatically enabled for the corresponding igmpsnoop:If.
