Fix Recommendation

Configure the relevant multicast enabled interfaces by configuring a route map on the PIM settings for the VRF on the GUI. Navigate to Tenants >> {{your_Tenants}} >> Networking >> VRFs >> {{Your_VRF}} >> multicast >> Configuration >> PIM settings >> Reserved Route MAP.

Check Contents

1. Review the network's multicast topology diagram.
2. Review the switch configuration to verify only the PIM interfaces as shown in the multicast topology diagram are enabled for PIM. Navigate to Tenants >> {{your_Tenants}} >> Networking >> VRFs >> {{Your_VRF}} >> multicast >> Configuration >> PIM settings >> Reserved Route MAP.

If a multicast interface is required to support PIM and it is not enabled, this is a finding.
