+! ! HINTS:
+! !  - Enable "ip pim ssm" on the interface directly attached to the
+! !    multicast source host (if this is the first-hop router)
+! !  - Enable "ip pim ssm" on pim-routers-facing interfaces
+! !  - Enable "ip igmp" on IGMPv3-hosts-facing interfaces
+! !  - In order to inject IGMPv3 local membership information in the
+! !    PIM protocol state, enable both "ip pim ssm" and "ip igmp" on
+! !    the same interface; otherwise PIM won't advertise
+! !    IGMPv3-learned membership to other PIM routers
