Configuring the IPv6 SSM group range

When an IPv6 PIM-SM enabled interface receives an IPv6 multicast packet, it checks whether the
IPv6 multicast group address of the packet is in the IPv6 SSM group range. If the IPv6 multicast
group address is in this range, the IPv6 PIM mode for this packet is IPv6 PIM-SSM. If the IPv6
multicast group address is not in this range, the IPv6 PIM mode is IPv6 PIM-SM.
Configuration restrictions and guidelines
When you configure the IPv6 SSM group range, follow these restrictions and guidelines:
•
Configure the same IPv6 SSM group range on all routers in the entire IPv6 PIM-SM domain.
Otherwise, IPv6 multicast information cannot be delivered through the IPv6 SSM model.
•
When a member of an IPv6 multicast group in the IPv6 SSM group range sends an MLDv1
report message, the device does not trigger a (*, G) join.
