To activate PIM-SM after opening the Interface Configuration mode, use the following 
command. 
Command Mode

ip pim sparse-mode
 [passive
Interface 
Activates PIM-SM on specified interface. 
 
The ip pim sparse-mode passive command enables passive mode operation for local 
members on the interfaces. Passive mode essentially stops PIM transactions on the inter-
face, allowing only IGMP mechanism to be active. To turn off passive mode, use the ip 
pim sparse-mode passive
 or the ip pim sparse-mode command. 
To disable PIM-SM, use the following command.

The router with the highest priority value configured on an interface will be elected as the 
DR. If this priority value is the same on multiple routers, then the router with the highest 
IP address configured on an interface will be elected as the DR. If a router does not ad-
vertise a priority value in its hello messages, the router is regarded as having the highest 
priority and will be elected as the DR. If there are multiple routers with this priority status, 
then the router with the highest IP address configured on an interface will be elected as
