Enabling Pim-Sm - HP A5500 SI Switch Series Configuration Manual

Enabling PIM-SM

The implementation of the SSM model is based on some subsets of PIM-SM. Therefore, a router is PIM-
SSM capable after you enable PIM-SM on it.
When you deploy a PIM-SM domain, HP recommends that you enable PIM-SM on non-border interfaces
of the routers.
