Recommended configuration procedure for PIM-SM
Ste
p
Remarks
1. Globally enable multicast routing
Required.
Globally enable multicast routing after selecting Network >
Routing Management > Multicast Routing. For more information,
see "Configuring multicast routing and forwarding."
By default, multic
ast routing is globally disabled.
2. Configuring PIM interfaces
Required.
Enable PIM-SM on an interface.
After PIM-SM is enabled, a router sends hello messages
periodically to discover PIM neighbors and processes messages
from the PIM neighbors. To deploy a PIM-SM domain, enable
PIM-SM on all non-border interfaces of the routers.
By default, PIM is disabled on an interface.
3. Configuring advanced PIM features
Optional.
• Enable the auto-RP function, which is disabled by default.
• Configure the register message checksum and calculation
method.
4. Displaying PIM neighbor information
Optional.
You cannot configure the device as a RP, C-RP, or C-BSR in the Web interface. To do so, use the CLI. For
more information, see "Configuring PIM-SM at the CLI."
Recommended configuration procedure for PIM-SSM
Step Remarks
1. Globally enable multicast routing
Required.
Globally enable multicast routing after selecting Network >
Routing Management > Multicast Routing. For more information,
see "Configuring multicast routing and forwarding."
By default, multic
ast routing is globally disabled.
2. Configuring PIM interfaces
Required.
Enable PIM-SSM on an interface.
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.
By default, PIM is disabled on an interface.
3. Configuring advanced PIM features
Optional.
Configure the SSM group range. By default, the SSM group
range is 232.0.0.0/8.
4. Displaying PIM neighbor information
Optional.
