Configure the SSM group
range

The commands introduced in this section are to be configured on all routers in the
PIM domain.
c
CAUTION:
Make sure that the same SSM group range is configured on all routers in the
■
entire domain. Otherwise, multicast information cannot be delivered through
the SSM model.
When a member of a multicast group in the SSM group range sends an
■
IGMPv1 or IGMPv2 report message, the device does not trigger a (*, G) join.

For the configuration tasks described in this section
Configurations performed in PIM view are effective to all interfaces, while
■
configurations performed in interface view are effective to the current interface
only.
If the same function or parameter is configured in both PIM view and interface
■
view, the configuration performed in interface view is given priority, regardless
of the configuration sequence.
