Click Apply to send the updated configuration to the switch. Configuration changes take effect immediately. 3.

IPv6 PIM SSM Configuration 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.
