Configuration Procedure for PIM SM:
Step Operation
Description
1
Configure
interface.
Required. Configure IP addresses and subnet masks of routing
interfaces on
Routing→ Interface→Interface Config
page.
2
Configure routing
protocol.
Required. Configure the routing entries via static route or dynamic
routing protocol like OSPF, and make sure all the switches can
communicate with each other and update the routing information
through a unicast routing protocol dynamically.
3
Enable multicast
routing and PIM
SM.
Required. Enable multicast routing on
Multicast Routing→Global
Config
page. Enable PIM SM on routing interfaces on
Multicast
Routing→PIM SM→PIM SM Interface
page.
4
Configure static
RP or configure
candidate BSR
and candidate RP.
Required. Configure static RP or configure a specified routing
interface as candidate RP on
Multicast Routing→PIM SM→RP
page.
Configure a specified routing interface as candidate BSR on
Multicast Routing→PIM SM→BSR
page.
5
Enable IGMP.
Required. Enable IGMP on the routing interfaces which connect to
the receivers on
Multicast Routing→IGMP→Interface Config
page.

PIM SSM
While PIM-SM employs a specially-configured RP router that serves as a meeting junction for
multicast senders and listeners, Protocol-Independent Multicast Source Specific Multicast
(PIM-SSM) does not use an RP. It supports only source-route deliver trees. It is used between
routers so that they can track which multicast packets to forward to each other and to their
directly-connected LANs. The SSM service model can be implemented with a strict subset of
the PIM-SM protocol mechanisms. Both regular IP Multicast and SSM semantics can coexist on
a single router and both can be implemented using the PIM-SM protocol. A range of multicast
addresses, currently 232.0.0.0/8 in IPv4, is reserved for SSM.
