  • The Arista Multilayer Switch must bind a Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) neighbor filter to interfaces that have PIM enabled.

    Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) is a routing protocol used to build multicast distribution trees for forwarding multicast traffic across the network infrastructure. Protocol Independent Multic...
