Enabling SSM Mapping

On the network segment that provides SSM services, interfaces on multicast devices run IGMPv3. Due to various restrictions, some hosts must run IGMPv1 or IGMPv2. To provide SSM services for these hosts, IGMP SSM mapping needs to be configured on the multicast devices' interfaces connected to the user network segment. Enabling SSM mapping is a prerequisite for configuring static SSM mapping. If SSM mapping is not enabled on an interface, SSM source/group address mapping entries cannot take effect on the interface.

Procedure

  1. Run system-view

    The system view is displayed.

  2. Run interface interface-type interface-number

    The interface view is displayed.

  3. Run igmp version 3

    The IGMP version is set to 3.

    To ensure that all user hosts (running any IGMP version) can obtain SSM services, IGMPv3 is recommended.

  4. Run igmp ssm-mapping enable

    The SSM mapping function is enabled.

  5. (Optional) Run igmp ssm-mapping enable policy policy-name

    SSM mapping is enabled, and an SSM mapping policy is configured.

  6. Run commit

    The configuration is committed.
