Configuration prerequisites

Before you configure PIM-SM, configure a unicast routing protocol so that all devices in the domain are
interoperable at the network layer.

Enabling PIM-SM

Enable IP multicast routing before you configure PIM.
With PIM-SM enabled on interfaces, routers can establish PIM neighbor relationship and process PIM
messages from their PIM neighbors. When you deploy a PIM-SM domain, HP recommends that you
enable PIM-SM on all non-border interfaces.
