I am setting up multicast on a nexus switch, I am pretty confident I know what needs to be done, so my question is when setting this up will traffic be affected?

wanted to provide an update: the configuration worked here is some back ground information. The paging server is on the same vlan as the phones, with that being said all I needed to do was find an IP address I could reserve for ip igmp snooping querier. the complete commands are:
conf t
vlan configuration 110
ip igmp snooping querier (IP address in same subnet)
applied this to both nexus switches and worked.

Hi @Isaac ,
When enabling Multicast PIM related commands, I do not expect disruption of Unicast traffic.
Cheers.

To config Multicast PIM - depends on sparse or sparse-dense mode ( do not recommend dense mode at all)
you are ok to do.
unlike IOS, you need enable feature before you config PIM
feature pim to stat with
