Usage

The “no” form of this command removes PIM SSM configuration. PIM SSM is disabled by default.

Example

This example enables PIM SSM for the default group ranges and for a user defined group range of ff3e:2000::/64:

System(su)->configure
System(su-config)->ip pim ssm default
System(su-config)->ip pim ssm ff3e:2000::/64
