is relayed to the receivers. Senders first send the multicast data to the RP, which in turn 
sends the data down the shared tree to the receivers. Shared trees centered on an RP do not 
necessarily provide the shortest, most optimal path. In such cases PIM-SM provides a means 
to switch to more efficient source-specific trees. A data threshold rate is defined for toggling 
between trees. PIM-SM uses a bootstrap router (BSR), which advertises information to other 
multicast routers about the RP. In a given network, a set of routers can be administratively 
enabled as candidate bootstrap routers. If it is not apparent which router should be the BSR, 
the candidates flood the domain with advertisements. The router with the highest priority is 
elected. If all the priorities are equal, then the candidate with the highest IP address becomes 
the BSR. PIM-SM is defined in RFC 4601. 
The following example describes how to configure and use PIM-SM. In this case, set the 
switch B,C,D as RP-candidate and BSR-candidate. Switch B will become the BSR because it 
has the highest priority. Switch D will become the RP after RP election.
CLI: Configure PIM-SM
PIM-SM on Switch A
1. 
Enable IP routing on the switch.
2. 
Enable PIM-SM on the switch.
3. 
Enable IP multicast forwarding on the switch.
4. 
Enable RIP to build a unicast IP routing table.
