To troubleshoot PIM operation, have a topology diagram and knowledge of unicast routing protocols. Verify the PIM RP using "show ip pim rp" and check that PIM is enabled on all necessary interfaces. Common issues include multicasting not being enabled, interfaces missing PIM, unicast routing problems, or multicast traffic stuck in register state.

Verifying PIM Operation

Troubleshooting Suggestions

Have a topology diagram in front of you


Without a diagram how could you.
a. Verify the correct ingress-interface for any mroute en
b. Verify the correct RPF Neighbor for any entry ?
c. Identify interfaces where PIM neighbors should have
discovered ?
Have a good working knowledge of IP unicast routing
troubleshooting (i.e, EIGRP, OSPF , etc).

Show IP PIM RP - command


show ip pim rp
Verify that you see the PIM RP

What is the
Problem
With X

No multicasting enable
No receiver never send igmp membership report
Pim not enable to downstream interface

No multicast routing enable


No PIM enable to Y to X interface
Vice versa

No multicast
state in
The router Z
Multicast is still
stuck
In PIM register
state
Same as last

May be multicast isnt started


X upstream interface missing PIM
May be router in the middle missing PIM
May be unicast routing issues
