MLD SSM Range : indicates Source-Specific
Multicast (SSM) range. SSM function is used when
multicast listener should receive packets from a
given source only, and not all multicast sources
at a given LAN, improving security and reducing
network demands. SSM address will allow SSM-
aware hosts and routers to run SSM services.
Address must be entered in hexadecimal format
with a colon (“:”) separating each field, and mask
length is represented as mask length bits;

the source side LAN port. Checkbox selected
