Troubleshooting PIMv1 and PIMv2 Interoperability Problems
When debugging interoperability problems between PIMv1 and PIMv2, check these in the order shown:
1
Verify RP mapping with the show ip pim rp-hash privileged EXEC command, making sure that all
systems agree on the same RP for the same group.
2
Verify interoperability between different versions of DRs and RPs. Make sure that the RPs are interacting
with the DRs properly (by responding with register-stops and forwarding decapsulated data packets from
registers).

Configuration Examples for PIM
Example: Enabling PIM Stub Routing
In this example, IP multicast routing is enabled, Switch A PIM uplink port 25 is configured as a routed uplink
port with spare-dense-mode enabled. PIM stub routing is enabled on the VLAN 100 interfaces and on Gigabit
Ethernet port 20.
