Configuring the SSM group range
As for whether the information from a multicast source is delivered to the receivers based on the PIM-SSM
model or the PIM-SM model, this depends on whether the group address in the (S, G) channel subscribed
by the receivers falls into the SSM group range. All PIM-SM-enabled interfaces assume that multicast
groups within this address range are using the PIM-SSM model.
Perform the following configuration on all routers in the PIM-SSM domain.
Follow these steps to configure an SSM multicast group range:

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.
