Configuring SSM

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure SSM. This procedure is optional.

Monitoring SSM

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, use these commands to monitor SSM.
Configuring Source Specific Multicast Mapping
The Source Specific Multicast (SSM) mapping feature supports SSM transition when supporting SSM
on the end system is impossible or unwanted due to administrative or technical reasons. You can use
SSM mapping to leverage SSM for video delivery to legacy STBs that do not support IGMPv3 or for
applications that do not use the IGMPv3 host stack.

SSM Mapping Configuration Guidelines and Restrictions

These are the SSM mapping configuration guidelines:
Before you configure SSM mapping, enable IP multicast routing, enable PIM sparse mode, and
configure SSM. For information on enabling IP multicast routing and PIM sparse mode, see the
“Default Multicast Routing Configuration” section on page 48-11.
Before you configure static SSM mapping, you must configure access control lists (ACLs) that
define the group ranges to be mapped to source addresses. For information on configuring an ACL,
see Chapter 37, “Configuring Network Security with ACLs.”
Command Purpose
Step 1 ip pim ssm [default | range access-list]Define the SSM range of IP multicast addresses.
Step 2 interface type number Select an interface that is connected to hosts on which
IGMPv3 can be enabled, and enter the interface configuration
mode.
Step 3 ip pim {sparse-mode | sparse-dense-mode}Enable PIM on an interface. You must use either sparse mode
or sparse-dense mode.
Step 4 ip igmp version 3 Enable IGMPv3 on this interface. The default version of
IGMP is set to Version 2.
Command Purpose
show ip igmp groups detail Display the (S, G) channel subscription through IGMPv3.
show ip mroute Display whether a multicast group supports SSM service or
whether a source-specific host report was received.
