For example, the
ssm
command could be executed from the multicast-routing configuration submode like
this:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)#
multicast-routing
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-mcast-ipv4)#
ssm range
Alternatively, you could issue the same command from the global or XR config mode like this:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)#
multicast-routing ssm range
The following multicast protocol-specific submodes are available through these configuration submodes:
Multicast-Routing Configuration Submode
When you issue the
multicast-routing ipv4 or multicast-routing ipv6
command, all default multicast
components (PIM, IGMP, MLD, MFWD, and MRIB) are automatically started, and the CLI prompt changes
to
“
config-mcast-ipv4
”
or
“
config-mcast-ipv6
”
, indicating that you have entered multicast-routing configuration
submode.
PIM Configuration Submode
When you issue the
router pim
command, the CLI prompt changes to
“
config-pim-ipv4,
”
indicating that you
have entered the default pim address-family configuration submode.
To enter pim address-family configuration submode for IPv6, type the
address-family ipv6
keyword together
with the
router pim
command before pressing Enter.
IGMP Configuration Submode
When you issue the
router igmp
command, the CLI prompt changes to
“
config-igmp,
”
indicating that you
have entered IGMP configuration submode.
MLD Configuration Submode
When you issue the
router mld
command, the CLI prompt changes to
“
config-mld,
”
indicating that you have
entered MLD configuration submode.
MSDP Configuration Submode
When you issue the
router msdp
command, the CLI prompt changes to
“
config-msdp,
”
indicating that you
have entered router MSDP configuration submode.
Understanding Interface Configuration Inheritance
Cisco IOS XR Software allows you to configure commands for a large number of interfaces by applying
command configuration within a multicast routing submode that could be inherited by all interfaces. To
override the inheritance mechanism, you can enter interface configuration submode and explicitly enter a
different command parameter.
