Configuring the IPv6 SSM Group Range
As for whether the information from an IPv6 multicast source is delivered to the receivers based on the
IPv6 PIM-SSM model or the IPv6 PIM-SM model, this depends on whether the group address in the (S,
G) channel subscribed by the receivers falls in the IPv6 SSM group range. All IPv6 PIM-SM-enabled
interfaces assume that IPv6 multicast groups within this address range are using the IPv6 SSM model.
Perform the following configuration on all routers in the IPv6 PIM-SM domain.
Follow these steps to configure the IPv6 SSM group range:

Make sure that the same IPv6 SSM group range is configured on all routers in the entire domain.
Otherwise, IPv6 multicast data cannot be delivered through the IPv6 SSM model.

When a member of an IPv6 multicast group in the IPv6 SSM group range sends an MLDv1 report
message, the device does not trigger a (*, G) join.
