+PIM – Protocol Independent Multicast
+####################################
+
+VyOS supports :abbr:`PIM-SM (PIM Sparse Mode)` as well as
+:abbr:`IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol)` v2 and v3
+
+:abbr:`PIM (Protocol Independent Multicast)` must be configured in every
+interface of every participating router. Every router must also have the
+location of the Rendevouz Point manually configured. Then, unidirectional
+shared trees rooted at the Rendevouz Point will automatically be built
+for multicast distribution.
+
+Traffic from multicast sources will go to the Rendezvous Point, and
+receivers will pull it from a shared tree using :abbr:`IGMP (Internet
+Group Management Protocol)`.
+
+Multicast receivers will talk IGMP to their local router, so, besides
+having PIM configured in every router, IGMP must also be configured in
+any router where there could be a multicast receiver locally connected.
+
+VyOS supports both IGMP version 2 and version 3 (which allows
+source-specific multicast).

+************************
+PIM-SM - PIM Sparse Mode
+************************
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols pim ecmp
+
+ If PIM has the a choice of ECMP nexthops for a particular
+ :abbr:`RPF (Reverse Path Forwarding)`, PIM will cause S,G flows to be
+ spread out amongst the nexthops. If this command is not specified then
+ the first nexthop found will be used.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols pim ecmp rebalance
+
+ If PIM is using ECMP and an interface goes down, cause PIM to rebalance all
+ S,G flows across the remaining nexthops. If this command is not configured
+ PIM only modifies those S,G flows that were using the interface that went
+ down.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols pim join-prune-interval <n>
+
+ Modify the join/prune interval that PIM uses to the new value. Time is
+ specified in seconds.
+
+ The default time is 60 seconds.
+
+ If you enter a value smaller than 60 seconds be aware that this can and
+ will affect convergence at scale.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols pim keep-alive-timer <n>
+
+ Modify the time out value for a S,G flow from 1-65535 seconds. If choosing
+ a value below 31 seconds be aware that some hardware platforms cannot see
+ data flowing in better than 30 second chunks.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols pim packets <n>
+
+ When processing packets from a neighbor process the number of packets
+ incoming at one time before moving on to the next task.
+
+ The default value is 3 packets.
+
+ This command is only useful at scale when you can possibly have a large
+ number of PIM control packets flowing.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols pim register-accept-list <prefix-list>
+
+ When PIM receives a register packet the source of the packet will be compared
+ to the prefix-list specified, and if a permit is received normal processing
+ continues. If a deny is returned for the source address of the register packet
+ a register stop message is sent to the source.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols pim register-suppress-time <n>
+
+ Modify the time that pim will register suppress a FHR will send register
+ notifications to the kernel.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols pim rp <address> group <group>
+
+ In order to use PIM, it is necessary to configure a :abbr:`RP (Rendezvous Point)`
+ for join messages to be sent to. Currently the only methodology to do this is
+ via static rendezvous point commands.
+
+ All routers in the PIM network must agree on these values.
+
+ The first ip address is the RP's address and the second value is the matching
+ prefix of group ranges covered.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols pim rp keep-alive-timer <n>
+
+ Modify the time out value for a S,G flow from 1-65535 seconds at
+ :abbr:`RP (Rendezvous Point)`. The normal keepalive period for the KAT(S,G)
+ defaults to 210 seconds. However, at the :abbr:`RP (Rendezvous Point)`, the
+ keepalive period must be at least the Register_Suppression_Time, or the RP
+ may time out the (S,G) state before the next Null-Register arrives.
+ Thus, the KAT(S,G) is set to max(Keepalive_Period, RP_Keepalive_Period)
+ when a Register-Stop is sent.
+
+ If choosing a value below 31 seconds be aware that some hardware platforms
+ cannot see data flowing in better than 30 second chunks.
+
+ See :rfc:`7761#section-4.1` for details.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols pim no-v6-secondary
+
+ When sending PIM hello packets tell PIM to not send any v6 secondary
+ addresses on the interface. This information is used to allow PIM to use v6
+ nexthops in it's decision for :abbr:`RPF (Reverse Path Forwarding)` lookup
+ if this option is not set (default).
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols pim spt-switchover infinity-and-beyond [prefix-list <list>]
+
+ On the last hop router if it is desired to not switch over to the SPT tree
+ configure this command.
+
+ Optional parameter prefix-list can be use to control which groups to switch or
+ not switch. If a group is PERMIT as per the prefix-list, then the SPT switchover
+ does not happen for it and if it is DENY, then the SPT switchover happens.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols pim ssm prefix-list <list>
+
+ Specify a range of group addresses via a prefix-list that forces PIM to never
+ do :abbr:`SSM (Source-Specific Multicast)` over.
+
+Interface specific commands
+===========================
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols pim interface <interface> bfd [profile <name>]
+
+ Automatically create BFD session for each RIP peer discovered in this
+ interface. When the BFD session monitor signalize that the link is down
+ the RIP peer is removed and all the learned routes associated with that
+ peer are removed.
+
+ If optional profile parameter is used, select a BFD profile for the BFD
+ sessions created via this interface.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols pim interface <interface> dr-priority <n>
+
+ Set the :abbr:`DR (Designated Router)` Priority for the interface.
+ This command is useful to allow the user to influence what node becomes
+ the DR for a LAN segment.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols pim interface <interface> hello <n>
+
+ Set the PIM hello and hold interval for a interface.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols pim interface <interface> no-bsm
+
+ Tell PIM that we would not like to use this interface to process
+ bootstrap messages.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols pim interface <interface> no-unicast-bsm
+
+ Tell PIM that we would not like to use this interface to process
+ unicast bootstrap messages.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols pim interface <interface> passive
+
+ Disable sending and receiving PIM control packets on the interface.
+
+ .. cfgcmd:: set protocols pim interface <interface> source-address <ip-address>
+
+ If you have multiple addresses configured on a particular interface and would
+ like PIM to use a specific source address associated with that interface.
+
+******************************************
+IGMP - Internet Group Management Protocol)
+******************************************
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols pim igmp watermark-warning <n>
+
+ Configure watermark warning generation for an IGMP group limit. Generates
+ warning once the configured group limit is reached while adding new groups.
+
+Interface specific commands
+===========================
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols pim interface <interface> igmp
+ join <multicast-address> source-address <IP-address>
+
+ Use this command to allow the selected interface to join a multicast
+ group defining the multicast address you want to join and the source
+ IP address too.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols pim interface <interface> igmp
+ query-interval <seconds>
+
+ Use this command to configure in the selected interface the IGMP
+ host query interval (1-1800) in seconds that PIM will use.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols pim interface <interface> igmp
+ query-max-response-time <n>
+
+ Use this command to configure in the selected interface the IGMP
+ query response timeout value (10-250) in deciseconds. If a report is
+ not returned in the specified time, it will be assumed the (S,G) or
+ (*,G) state :rfc:`7761#section-4.1` has timed out.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols pim interface <interface> igmp version <version-number>
+
+ Use this command to define in the selected interface whether you
+ choose IGMP version 2 or 3.
+
+ The default value is 3.
