6.4.2 Configuration Prerequisites

Before configuring PIM-SSM, complete the following task:
Configure any unicast routing protocol so that all devices in the domain are
interoperable at the network layer.
Before configuring PIM-SSM, prepare the following data:
The range of PIM-SSM multicast groups
6.4.3 Enabling PIM-SM
The SSM model is implemented based on some subsets of PIM-SM. Therefore, a
router is PIM-SSM-capable after you enable PIM-SM on it.
When deploying a PIM-SM domain, you are recommended to enable PIM-SM on all
interfaces of non-border routers (border routers are PIM-enabled routers located on the
boundary of BSR admin-scope regions).
Follow these steps to enable PIM-SM:
Enter system view
Enable
Routing
Enter interface view
Enable PIM-SM
Caution:
All the interfaces of the same router must work in the same PIM mode.
