Usage Guidelines
You must disable PIM before configuring or unconfiguring a PIM-SSM range. Use the
command.
Initially, no range is configured for SSM. After a range is configured, you can remove the range with the
unconfigure pim ssm range
unconfigure the existing range, and then configure the new range.
SSM requires that hosts use IGMPv3 messages to register to receive multicast group packets. When a
range is configured for SSM, any IGMPv2 messages for an address in the range will be ignored. Also,
any IGMPv3 Exclude messages will be ignored.
NOTE
If a PIM-SSM range is configured, IGMPv2 messages and IGMPv3 exclude messages within the PIM-SSM range are
ignored on all IP interfaces, whether or not PIM-SSM is configured on the interfaces.
To specify a range different from the default PIM SSM range, you will need to create a policy file. The
match statement of the policy file contains the group addresses to be treated as PIM SSM addresses. For
example, to specify the PIM SSM address range as 232.0.0.0/8 and 233.0.0.0/8, you will use the
following policy file:
Entry extreme1 {
if match any {
nlri 232.0.0.0/8 ;
nlri 233.0.0.0/8 ;
}
then {
permit ;
}
}
