Usage Guidelines
When IP multicast routing is disabled, the Cisco IOS software does not forward any multicast packets.
For IP multicast, after enabling IP multicast routing, PIM must be configured on all interfaces. Disabling
IP multicast routing does not remove PIM; PIM still must be explicitly removed from the interface
configurations.
