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 in 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-SM domain.
Follow these steps to configure an SSM multicast group range:

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.
z
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.
Configuring PIM Common Features
For the functions or parameters that can be configured in both PIM view and interface view described in
this section:
z
Configurations performed in PIM view are effective to all interfaces, while configurations performed
in interface view are effective to the current interface only.
z
If the same function or parameter is configured in both PIM view and interface view, the
configuration made in interface view has preference over the configuration made in PIM view,
regardless of the configuration sequence.
