Glossary

SSM

If you delete any ssm-map in a static range group, the switch deletes the entire static range group.

For example, create an ssm-map for 232.122.122.122 to 232.122.122.122.128 and after that

configure this same range in a static group. If you delete any ssm-map between 232.122.122.122

and 232.122.122.128, the switch deletes the entire static range group.

Data I-SID

The BEB matches a single multicast stream to a particular data I-SID. As a result there is a one-to-

one mapping between the source, group (S,G) pair to data I-SID for each BEB.

IP address

In this release, IP multicast over SPBM supports only IPv4 multicast traffic.

Supported services

VSP 4000 does not support IP multicast over SPBM routing on inter-VSN routing interfaces.

VSP 4000 supports the following modes of IP multicast over SPBM:

• Layer 2 VSN multicast service — Multicast traffic remains within the same Layer 2 VSN across

the SPBM cloud.

• Layer 3 VSN multicast service — Multicast traffic remains within the same Layer 3 VSN across

the SPBM cloud.

• IP Shortcuts multicast service — Multicast traffic can cross VLAN boundaries but remains

confined to the subset of VLANs with the Global Routing Table that have IP multicast over

SPBM enabled.
