Usage
FTOS supports standard access lists for the SSM range. You cannot use extended ACLs for
Information
configuring the SSM range. If you configure an extended ACL and then used in the ip pim
ssm-range {access list name} configuration, an error is reported.
However, if you configure ip pim ssm-range {access list name} first and then
you configure the ACL as an Extended ACL, an error is not reported and the ACL is not applied
to the SSM range.
FTOS-recommended best-practices are to configure the standard ACL, and then apply the ACL
to the SSM range. After the SSM range is applied, the changes are applied internally without
requiring clearing of the tree information base (TIB).
When the ACL rules change, the ACL and protocol-independent multicast (PIM) modules apply
the new rules automatically.
