Enabling PIM-SM
The implementation of the SSM model is based on some subsets of PIM-SM. Therefore, you must enable
PIM-SM before configuring PIM-SSM.
When you deploy a PIM-SSM domain, enable PIM-SM on non-border interfaces of the routers.
IMPORTANT:
All the interfaces on a device must be enabled with the same PIM mode.

Configuring the SSM group range
Whether the PIM-SSM model or the PIM-SM model delivers the information from a multicast source the
receivers depends on whether the group address in the (S, G) packets that the receivers request falls into
