Enabling IPv4 Multicast Routing Over a GRE Tunnel

This section describes how to enable IPv4 multicast protocols, PIM Sparse (PIM-SM) and PIM Dense (PIM-DM), on a GRE tunnel. Perform the procedures in this section after completing the “Configuring IP GRE tunnels” task.

For an overview of multicast routing support over a GRE tunnel, refer to Support for IPv4 multicast routing over GRE tunnels.

Note: ICX 7150 devices do not support tunnels. This task is not supported for ICX 7150 devices.

Enabling PIM-SM on a GRE Tunnel

To enable PIM-SM on a GRE tunnel interface, use the ip pim-sparse command in tunnel interface mode.

device(config)# interface tunnel 10
device(config-tnif-10)# ip pim-sparse

Enabling PIM-DM on a GRE Tunnel Interface

To enable PIM-DM on a GRE tunnel interface, use the ip pim command in tunnel interface mode.

device(config)# interface tunnel 10
device(config-tnif-10)# ip pim
