Netgear M5300-28G-POE+ (GSM7228PSv1h2) - 12-Port Managed Gigabit Switch Softwarehandbuch

Protocol-Independent Multicast (PIM) is a standard multicast routing protocol that provides 
scalable interdomain multicast routing across the Internet, independent of the mechanisms 
provided by any particular unicast routing protocol.



Prepare your computer with a static IP address in the 169.254.100.0 subnet, for 

example, 169.254.100.201.

Connect an Ethernet cable from an Ethernet port on your computer to an Ethernet port on 

the switch.

Launch a web browser.

Enter the IP address of the switch in the web browser address field.

The default IP address of the switch is 169.254.100.100. 

The Login screen displays.

Enter the user name and password. 

The default admin user name is admin and the default admin password is blank, that is, 
do not enter a password.

Click the Login button. 

The web management interface menu displays.

Select Routing

> Multicast > PIM > Global Configuration. 

In the Admin Mode field, select the protocol of PIM in the router. 

Possible values are Disable, PIM-SM, or PIM-DM. The default is Disable. 

Click the Apply button.

The updated configuration is sent to the switch. Configuration changes take effect 
immediately.

While PIM employs a specially configured rendezvous point (RP) router that serves as a 
meeting junction for multicast senders and listeners, Protocol-Independent Multicast 
Single-Source Multicast (PIM-SSM) does not use an RP. It supports only source route 
delivery trees. It is used between routers so that they can track which multicast packets to 
forward to each other and to their directly connected LANs. The SSM service model can be
