igmp-snooping ssm-policy (VSI E-Tree view)

Function

The igmp-snooping ssm-policy command configures an Source Specific Multicast Mapping (SSM) group address range.

The undo igmp-snooping ssm-policy command restores the default setting.

By default, the SSM group address range is from 232.0.0.0 to 232.255.255.255.

Format

igmp-snooping ssm-policy { basic-acl-number | acl-name acl-name }

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

If a user joins a multicast group with the address within the Any-Source Multicast (ASM) multicast address range but wants to enjoy SSM services, the igmp-snooping ssm-policy command can be used to add this multicast group address to the SSM group address range.

Prerequisites

A basic ACL specified by <BASIC-ACL-NUMBER> or acl-name <ACL-NAME> has been configured.

Configuration Impact

After the igmp-snooping ssm-policy command is run, the SSM group address range specified by <BASIC-ACL-NUMBER> or acl-name <ACL-NAME> can be beyond the range of 232.0.0.0 to 232.255.255.255. The group addresses out of the SSM group address range are applicable to the ASM model.

Precautions

If a specified multicast address is configured to be within the SSM group address range and IGMPv2 users use this multicast address to receive SSM multicast services, a multicast device does not delete the (S, G) entry corresponding to this multicast address when it receives an IGMPv2 Leave message. The (S, G) entry can be deleted through the multicast entry aging mechanism or can be deleted when the multicast device receives an IGMPv3 Leave message.
