Configuration procedure
This section only provides the configuration for Switch A because the
configuration procedures for Switch B and Switch C are similar.

Configuring PIM-SM PIM-SM (Protocol Independent Multicast, Sparse Mode) belongs to sparse mode
multicast routing protocols. PIM-SM is mainly applicable to large-scale networks
with broad scope and few group members.
Different from the flood & prune principle of the dense mode, PIM-SM assumes
that all hosts do not need to receive multicast packets, unless clear request is put
forward.
PIM-SM uses the RP (Rendezvous Point) and the BSR (Bootstrap Router) to
advertise multicast information to all PIM-SM routers and uses the join/prune
