Example PIM-SSM Configuration

PIM-SSM Configuration illustrates the PIM-SSM configuration of a single router shown in the example scripts below. PIM-SSM is enabled on router R1 with the default group range of 232.0.0.0/8. VLANs connected to the source host and receiver are configured on the router. PIM-SM and IGMP are enabled on all interfaces. IGMP query is enabled on the receiver interface.

Router R1 Configuration

On this router:

  • Enable PIM-SSM with the default group range
  • Configure VLAN 2 with the source host IP address 171.1.1.1/24, and enable PIM-SM on the interface
  • Configure VLAN 5 with the receiver IP address 171.1.2.1/24, and enable PIM-SM on the interface
  • Enable IGMP version 3 on VLAN 2 and VLAN 5. IGMP is used to determine host group membership on directly attached subnets. PIM-SSM requires IGMP version 3. Note that IGMP version 2 is enabled by default in switch mode on S- K- and 7100-Series routers.
  • Enable IGMP querying on the receiver interface (VLAN 5)
