IGMP SSM mapping The IGMP SSM mapping feature enables you to configure static IGMP SSM mappings on the last-hop router to provide SSM support for receiver hosts that are running IGMPv1 or IGMPv2. The SSM model assumes that the last-hop router has identified the desired multicast sources when receivers join multicast groups. • When a host that is running IGMPv3 joins a multicast group, it can explicitly specify one or more multicast sources in its IGMPv3 report. • A host that is running IGMPv1 or IGMPv2, however, cannot specify multicast source addresses in its report. In this case, you must configure the IGMP SSM mapping feature to translate the (*, G) information in the IGMPv1 or IGMPv2 report into (G, INCLUDE, (S1, S2...)) information. Figure 31 Network diagram As shown in Figure 31, on an SSM network, Host A, Host B, and Host C are running IGMPv1, IGMPv2, and IGMPv3 respectively. To provide SSM service for all the hosts if IGMPv3 is not available on Host A and Host B, you must configure the IGMP SSM mapping feature on Router A. With the IGMP SSM mapping feature configured, when Router A receives an IGMPv1 or IGMPv2 report, it checks the multicast group address G carried in the message and does the following: • If G is not in the SSM group range, Router A cannot provide the SSM service but can provide the ASM service. 80

IGMP SSM mapping
The IGMP SSM mapping feature enables you to configure static IGMP SSM mappings on the last-hop
router to provide SSM support for receiver hosts that are running IGMPv1 or IGMPv2. The SSM model
assumes that the last-hop router has identified the desired multicast sources when receivers join multicast
groups.
When a host that is running IGMPv3 joins a multicast group, it can explicitly specify one or more
multicast sources in its IGMPv3 report.
A host that is running IGMPv1 or IGMPv2, however, cannot specify multicast source addresses in its
report. In this case, you must configure the IGMP SSM mapping feature to translate the (*, G)
information in the IGMPv1 or IGMPv2 report into (G, INCLUDE, (S1, S2...)) information.
Figure 31
Network diagram
As shown in
Figure 31
, on an SSM network, Host A, Host B, and Host C are running IGMPv1, IGMPv2,
and IGMPv3 respectively. To provide SSM service for all the hosts if IGMPv3 is not available on Host A
and Host B, you must configure the IGMP SSM mapping feature on Router A.
With the IGMP SSM mapping feature configured, when Router A receives an IGMPv1 or IGMPv2 report,
it checks the multicast group address G carried in the message and does the following:
If G is not in the SSM group range, Router A cannot provide the SSM service but can provide the
ASM service.
