Finding Feature Information
Your software release may not support all the features documented in this module. For the latest caveats and
feature information, see Bug Search Tool and the release notes for your platform and software release. To
find information about the features documented in this module, and to see a list of the releases in which each
feature is supported, see the feature information table at the end of this module.
Use Cisco Feature Navigator to find information about platform support and Cisco software image support.
To access Cisco Feature Navigator, go to www.cisco.com/go/cfn. An account on Cisco.com is not required.
Prerequisites for Basic IP Multicast Routing
The following are the prerequisites for configuring basic IP multicast routing:
•
To use this feature, the device or or active device must be running the IP services feature set. The IP
Services image contains complete multicast routing.
•
You must configure the PIM version and the PIM mode in order to perform IP multicast routing. The
switch populates its multicast routing table and forwards multicast packets it receives from its directly
connected LANs according to the mode setting. You can configure an interface to be in the PIM dense
mode, sparse mode, or sparse-dense mode.
