Add IPv4 PIM-SSM groups

While PIM employs a specially configured rendezvous point (RP) router that serves as
a meeting junction for multicast senders and listeners, PIM Single-Source Multicast
(PIM-SSM) does not use a rendezvous point (RP). PIM-SSM supports source route delivery
trees only. It is used between routers (including switch router interfaces) so that they
can track which multicast packets to forward to each other and to their directly connected
LANs. You can implement PIM-SSM with a strict subset of the PIM protocol mechanisms.
Both regular IPv4 multicast and SSM can coexist on a single router, and both can be
implemented using the PIM protocol. A range of multicast addresses, 232.0.0.0/8 for
IPv4, is reserved for SSM.

To add an IPv4 PIM-SSM group:

1. Launch a web browser.

2. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.

If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see Log in to the main UI with a web
browser
on page 27 and the subsections.

The login page displays.

3. Click the Main UI Login button.

The main UI login page displays in a new tab.

4. Enter admin as the user name, enter your local device password, and click the Login

button.

The first time that you log in, no password is required. However, you then must
specify a local device password to use each subsequent time that you log in.

The System Information page displays.

5. Select Routing > Multicast > PIM > SSM Configuration.

The SSM Configuration page displays.

6. In the SSM Group Address field, specify the source-specific multicast group IPv4

address.

7. In the SSM Group Mask field, specify the mask for the source-specific multicast

group IPv4 address.

8. Click the Add button.

Your settings are saved. The group is added.

9. To save the settings to the running configuration, click the Save icon.
