Cannot enable PIM dense mode on Cisco 3750E SVI

Sam Brynes
Level 1
Level 1

I just replaced a failed Cisco 3750G with a Cisco 3750E, and I can't seem to get access to the "ip pim dense-mode" subinterface command. I checked the Cisco feature navigator and tried out these images with no luck:

 

c3750e-universalk9-mz.122-53.SE2.bin

c3750e-universalk9-mz.150-2.SE11.bin

c3750e-universalk9-mz.122-55.SE12.bin

From the document you linked to - 

 

Note The IP base image contains only PIM stub routing. The IP services image contains complete multicast routing. On a switch running the IP base image, if you try to configure a VLAN interface with PIM dense-mode, sparse-mode, or dense-sparse-mode, the configuration is not allowed.

 

So you need to have IP Services and you are running IP Base on your switch.

Can you post the error and show the version to look?

Hi Balaji,

Sure. I also tried 12.2(58)SE2:

 

SWITCH(config)#do sh run | i pim
SWITCH(config)#do sh run | i multicast
ip multicast-routing distributed
SWITCH(config)#

 

SWITCH#config t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
SWITCH(config)#int vlan 170
SWITCH(config-if)#ip pim dense-mode
^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

SWITCH(config-if)#ip pim ?
passive Enable PIM passive interface operation

SWITCH(config-if)#do sh run int vlan170
Building configuration...

Current configuration : 138 bytes

interface Vlan170
ip address 172.17.0.1 255.255.255.0
no ip redirects

no ip proxy-arp
snmp ifindex persist
end

SWITCH(config-if)#

This Cisco doc also discusses PIM on the 3750E series, IOS release 12.2(58)SE:

Your version does not support what you looking, you need IPSERVICE.

Did you ever get round this or was it a new switch install ?
