Configuring IGMP SSM mapping

Because of some possible restrictions, some receiver hosts on an SSM network might run IGMPv1 or

IGMPv2. To provide SSM service support for these receiver hosts, configure the IGMP mapping feature
on the last-hop router.

Configuration prerequisites

Before you configure the IGMP SSM mapping feature, complete the following tasks:

Configure any unicast routing protocol so that all devices in the domain are interoperable at the
network layer

Configure basic functions of IGMP

NOTE:

To ensure SSM service for all hosts on a subnet, regardless of the IGMP version running on the hosts,
enable IGMPv3 on the interface that forwards multicast traffic onto the subnet.

Configuring SSM mappings

By performing this configuration multiple times, you can map a multicast group to different multicast

sources.
