IMPORTANT:

Task

Remarks

Enabling PIM-SM

Required.

Configuring the SSM group range

Optional.

Configuring PIM common features

Optional.

Configuration prerequisites

Before you configure PIM-SSM, complete the following tasks:

Configure any unicast routing protocol so that all devices in the domain are interoperable at the
network layer.

Determine the SSM group range.

Enabling PIM-SM

The SSM model is implemented based on some subsets of PIM-SM. Therefore, you must enable PIM-SM

before configuring PIM-SSM.

Configuration guidelines

When the system is operating in standard mode, you must configure a reserved VLAN before you
configure PIM-SM for a VPN instance. For more information about the system operating mode, see

Fundamentals Configuration Guide. For more information about a reserved VLAN, see MPLS

Configuration Guide and MPLS Command Reference.

All the interfaces of a switch that are in the same VPN instance must share the same PIM mode.

When deploying a PIM-SSM domain, enable PIM-SM on non-border interfaces of the routers.
