Enabling PIM-SSM
To enable PIM-SSM, follow these steps.
1. Create an ACL that uses permit rules to specify what range of addresses should use SSM.
CONFIGURATION mode
ip access-list standard name
2. Enter the ip pim ssm-range command and specify the ACL you created.
CONFIGURATION mode
ip pim ssm-range acl-name
Enabling PIM-SSM
To display address ranges in the PIM-SSM range, use the show ip pim ssm-range command from
EXEC Privilege mode.

Use PIM-SSM with IGMP Version 2 Hosts
PIM-SSM requires receivers that support IGMP version 3. You can employ PIM-SSM even when receivers
support only IGMP version 1 or version 2 by translating (*,G) entries to (S,G) entries.
Translate (*,G) entries to (S,G) entries using the ip igmp ssm-map acl command source from
CONFIGURATION mode. In a standard access list, specify the groups or the group ranges that you want
to map to a source. Then, specify the multicast source.
• When an SSM map is in place and the system cannot find any matching access lists for a group, it
continues to create (*,G) entries because there is an implicit deny for unspecified groups in the ACL.
• When you remove the mapping configuration, the system removes the corresponding (S,G) states that
it created and re-establishes the original (*,G) states.
