IPv6 PIM-SSM Configuration
Table of Contents
15.1 PIM-SSM Overview
Protocol Independent Multicast-Source Specific Multicast (
) has all the
advantages of PIM-SM. PIM-SSM does not construct a shared tree. Instead, it only
constructs the SPT. When receiving the member relation report messages about a specific
source and a group, PIM-SSM constructs the SPT directly.
PIM-SSM is a subset of PIM-SM. PIM-SSM is suitable for the well known sources. It is
both intra-domain and inter-domain valid. PIM-SM uses MSDP for inter-domain multicast
routing. PIM-SSM does not need to use MSDP. The multicast group address allocated for
PIM-SSM is FF3X::/32. The routers do not construct a shared tree for this group address.
After a host sends a Join message from a specific source to a group, the last hop router
sends a (S, G) Join message to the direction of the source to construct a SPT. The last
hop router does not send a (*, G) Join message to the direction of RP. Once the SPT is
constructed, the first hop router forwards packets along this tree.
15.2 Configuring IPv6 PIM-SSM
This procedure describes how to configure IPv6 PIM-SSM.
Steps
1.
Configure IPv6 PIM-SSM.
Command
Function
ZXR10(config-mcast-ipv6-pim)#
ssm range
|
default
[
group-list
<
access-list-name
>]
Configures address range of IPv6
SSM groups, or uses the default group
address range.
When the
group-list
is not configured,
the default group range is FF3X::/32.
2.
Verify the configurations.
