enable pim ssm tunnel

enable pim {ipv4} ssm tunnel [tunnel_name | tunnel all]

Description

Enables PIM SSM tunnels on an IP interface.

Syntax Description

ipv4 Specifies the IPv4 address family.
tunnel Specifies the tunnel name.
tunnel_name Specifies to configure PIM information for interfaces.
all Specifies to configure PIM information on all Layer 3 interfaces.

Default

Disabled on all interfaces.

Usage Guidelines

This command enables PIM-SSM on the specified Layer 3 VLAN.

PIM-SM must also be configured on the interface for PIM to begin operating (which includes enabling IP multicast forwarding).

IGMPv3 include messages for multicast addresses in the SSM range are only processed by PIM if PIM-SSM is enabled on the interface. Any non-IGMPv3 include messages in the SSM range are not processed by PIM on any switch interface, whether SSM is enabled or not.

Example

The following example enables PIM-SSM multicast routing on tunnel accounting:

enable pim ssm tunnel accounting
