Congure PIM-SSM
Conguring PIM-SSM is a two-step process.
1 Congure PIM-SSM.
2 Enable PIM-SSM for a range of addresses.

Enabling PIM-SSM
To enable PIM-SSM, follow these steps.
1 Create an ACL that uses permit rules to specify what range of addresses should use SSM.
CONFIGURATION mode
ip access-list standard name
2 Enter the ip pim ssm-range command and specify the ACL you created.
CONFIGURATION mode
ip pim ssm-range acl-name
Enabling PIM-SSM
To display address ranges in the PIM-SSM range, use the show ip pim ssm-range command from EXEC Privilege mode.
R1(conf)#do show run pim
!
ip pim rp-address 10.11.12.2 group-address 224.0.0.0/4
ip pim ssm-range ssm
R1(conf)#do show run acl
!
ip access-list standard ssm
seq 5 permit host 239.0.0.2
R1(conf)#do show ip pim ssm-range
Group Address / MaskLen
239.0.0.2 / 32
Use PIM-SSM with IGMP Version 2 Hosts
PIM-SSM requires receivers that support IGMP version 3. You can employ PIM-SSM even when receivers support only IGMP version 1 or
version 2 by translating (*,G) entries to (S,G) entries.
Translate (*,G) entries to (S,G) entries using the ip igmp ssm-map acl command source from CONFIGURATION mode. In a standard
access list, specify the groups or the group ranges that you want to map to a source. Then, specify the multicast source.
• When an SSM map is in place and Dell Networking OS cannot nd any matching access lists for a group, it continues to create (*,G)
entries because there is an implicit deny for unspecied groups in the ACL.
• When you remove the mapping conguration, Dell Networking OS removes the corresponding (S,G) states that it created and re-
establishes the original (*,G) states.
• You may enter multiple ssm-map commands for dierent access lists. You may also enter multiple ssm-map commands for the same
access list, as long as they use dierent source addresses.
• When an extended ACL is associated with this command, Dell Networking OS displays an error message. If you apply an extended ACL
before you create it, Dell Networking OS accepts the conguration, but when the ACL is later dened, Dell Networking OS ignores the
ACL and the stated mapping has no eect.
