Hi Folks!

We're thrilled to share our latest technical guide of configuring PIM routing protocol in SONiC

Understanding Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) is pivotal for optimising network traffic flow, and our guide simplifies the configuration process in SONiC for seamless implementation.  Share your thoughts & suggestions!

Hi Rida Hanif,

 

Have you tested SONIC-PIM using community-image in any HW or testing is completely done in GNS3 alone?

 

To test in HW, we have to define new APPL-DB schema’s to install the PIM IP-multicast entries in HW apart from ACL’s for PIM control pkt traps. Have you defined any new APPL-DB schema’s for this HW integration? Couldn’t see any PIM HLD rolled out for this integration in community.

 

Thanks,
Rathna

Hi Rethna!

We have tested SONiC-PIM using community sonic-image (SONiC.202211.392481-cf66a45b8) in GNS3 alone.

We have not tested this feature in any hardware, we have taken into account your points and will test this feature in HW as well.
