Configuring the SSM group range

When a PIM-SM enabled interface receives a multicast packet, it checks whether the multicast group
address of the packet is in the SSM group range. If the multicast group address is in this range, the PIM
mode for this packet is PIM-SSM. If the multicast group address is not in this range, the PIM mode is
PIM-SM.
Configuration guidelines
Perform the following configuration on all routers in the PIM-SSM domain.
•
Make sure 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.
Configuration procedure
To configure an SSM group range:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter PIM view.
3. Configure the SSM group
range.
