Usage
Information
Currently, the chassis operates in either PIM Dense-Mode or PIM Sparse-Mode. The mode
configuration for the first PIM enabled interface determines the mode for the entire chassis.
Subsequent configurations, on other interfaces, to enable PIM is only accepted if the mode is the same
as the original configuration mode. The chassis PIM mode can be changed if PIM-configuration from
all interfaces are removed prior to applying a new PIM mode configuration.
