Specify a Data Routing Mode

This example defines sparse mode for PIM component 2. You can use the same procedure to set the mode to dense, but you would specify set mode dense.

1. Create a PIM component.

   SEFOS# configure terminal
   SEFOS(config)# set ip pim enable
   SEFOS(config)# ip pim component 2
   SEFOS(pim-comp)# set mode sparse
   SEFOS(pim-comp)# end
   

2. Ensure that sparse mode is defined for PIM component 2.

   SEFOS# show ip pim component 2
