Discussion

If PIM is not yet configured, merge it into the existing configuration:
aviva@router1> configure
Entering configuration mode
[edit]
aviva@router1# load merge terminal
[Type ^D at a new line to end input]
cut and paste here to add the lines shown below
protocols {
pim {
interface all {
mode sparse;
version 2;
}
interface fxp0.0 {
disable;
}
}
}
^D
load complete
First type the load merge terminal command and press Enter. Then paste the copied
text and press Ctrl-d when done. This snippet starts at the top level of the configuration,
[edit protocol], so you can drop it in with no typing. If the snippet is at a
lower level, you either need to move down to that hierarchy level in the configuration
(using the edit configuration mode command) or type in the opening hierarchy
statements and closing braces yourself. If the PIM configuration you have is just the
two interface commands and you are at the [edit] level, you need to type opening
lines for protocols { and pim { and two lines of closing braces:
[edit]
aviva@router1# load merge terminal
[Type ^D at a new line to end input]
protocols {
pim {
type your paste command here to paste the lines shown below
interface all {
mode sparse;
version 2;
}
interface fxp0.0 {
disable;
}
}
}
^D
load complete
If you forget to include the proper number of closing braces, the CLI displays an error.
