IPv6 PIM-SSM configuration task list
Task Remarks
Enabling IPv6 PIM-SM Required.
Configuring the IPv6 SSM group range Optional.
Configuring common IPv6 PIM features Optional.
Configuration prerequisites
Before you configure IPv6 PIM-SSM, complete the following tasks:
• Enable IPv6 forwarding and configure an IPv6 unicast routing protocol so that all devices in the
domain are interoperable at the network layer.
• Determine the IPv6 SSM group range.
Enabling IPv6 PIM-SM
The implementation of the SSM model is based on some subsets of IPv6 PIM-SM. Therefore, you must
enable IPv6 PIM-SM before configuring IPv6 PIM-SSM.
When you deploy an IPv6 PIM-SSM domain, enable IPv6 PIM-SM on all non-border interfaces of routers.
IMPORTANT:
A
ll the interfaces on a device must be enabled with the same IPv6 PIM mode.
To enable IPv6 PIM-SSM:

4. Enable IPv6 PIM-SM.
pim ipv6 sm Disabled by default.
Configuring the IPv6 SSM group range
Whether the IPv6 PIM-SSM model or the IPv6 PIM-SM model delivers the information from an IPv6
multicast source depends on whether the group address in the (S, G) packet that the receivers request is
in the IPv6 SSM group range. All IPv6 PIM-SM-enabled interfaces assume the IPv6 PIM-SSM model for
IPv6 multicast groups within this address range.
Configuration guidelines
Perform the following configuration on all routers in the IPv6 PIM-SSM domain.
