Configure IPv6 PIM SSM
While PIM employs a specially-configured rendezvous point (RP) router that serves as a
meeting junction for multicast senders and listeners, Protocol-Independent Multicast
Single-Source Multicast (PIM-SSM) does not use an RP. It supports only source route
delivery trees. It is used between routers so that they can track which multicast packets to
forward to each other and to their directly connected LANs. The SSM service model can be
implemented with a strict subset of the PIM protocol mechanisms. Both regular IP multicast
and SSM semantics can coexist on a single router, and both can be implemented using the
PIM protocol. A range of multicast addresses, currently 232.0.0.0/8 in IPv4 and FF3x::/32 in
IPv6, is reserved for SSM.
To configure the IPv6 PIM SSM settings:
1. Launch a web browser.
2. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
The login window opens.
3. Enter the user name and password.
The default admin user name is
admin and the default admin password is blank, that is,
