Configuring PIM-SM
This section describes how to configure PIM-SM.
PIM-SM configuration task list
Task at a
g
lance
(Required.) Enabling PIM-SM
(Required.) Configuring an RP:
• Configuring a static RP
• Configuring a C-RP
• (Optional.) Configuring Anycast RP
NOTE:
You must configure a static RP, a C-RP, or both in a PIM-SM domain.
In a network without C-RPs, skip the task of configuring a BSR.
Configure a BSR:
• (Required.) Configuring a C-BSR
• (Optional.) Configuring a PIM domain border
• (Optional.) Disabling the BSM semantic fragmentation function
(Optional.) Configuring multicast source registration
(Optional.) Configuring switchover to SPT
(Optional.) Configuring common PIM features
Configuration prerequisites
Before you configure PIM-SM, configure a unicast routing protocol so that all devices in the domain are
interoperable at the network layer.
Enabling PIM-SM
Enable IP multicast routing before you configure PIM.
With PIM-SM enabled on interfaces, routers can establish PIM neighbor relationship and process PIM
messages from their PIM neighbors. When you deploy a PIM-SM domain, HP recommends that you
enable PIM-SM on all non-border interfaces.
