Configuring PIM-SSM
IMPORTANT:
PIM-SSM needs the support of IGMPv3. Be sure to enable IGMPv3 on PIM routers with multicast receivers.

Task
Remarks
Required.
Configuring the SSM group range
Optional.
Configuring PIM common features
Optional.
Configuration prerequisites
Before you configure PIM-SSM, complete the following tasks:
•
Configure any unicast routing protocol so that all devices in the domain are interoperable at the
network layer.
•
Determine the SSM group range.
Enabling PIM-SM
The SSM model is implemented based on some subsets of PIM-SM. Therefore, you must enable PIM-SM
before configuring PIM-SSM.
Configuration guidelines
•
When the system is operating in standard mode, you must configure a reserved VLAN before you
configure PIM-SM for a VPN instance. For more information about the system operating mode, see
Fundamentals Configuration Guide. For more information about a reserved VLAN, see MPLS
Configuration Guide and MPLS Command Reference.
•
All the interfaces of a switch that are in the same VPN instance must share the same PIM mode.
•
When deploying a PIM-SSM domain, enable PIM-SM on non-border interfaces of the routers.
