Configuration prerequisites

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

Enabling PIM-SM

The implementation of the SSM model is based on 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.
