If SSM is to be operated: This controls the way in which an IGMP membership report requests the source addresses of multicast sources.
Note:
If you want to use an SSM group with any source address, you have to link the mode "Exclude" and SSM source IP list "ANY".
- SNMP ID:
- 2.108.1.5.4
- Console path:
- Setup > Multicast > IGMP > Static-Routes
- Possible values:
- Include
- An IGMP membership report is sent with the record type "Change to Include Mode". The entries from the SSM source IP list are sent as the desired source addresses. A combination of the setting "Include" and the SSM source IP list with an entry "ANY" will not produce meaningful results and is not accepted internally as a configuration. Otherwise all source IP addresses would be rejected.
- Exclude
- An IGMP membership report is sent with the record type "Change to Exclude Mode". If the source list contains the entry "ANY" or "0.0.0.0", i.e. all sources are allowed, then an IGMP membership report will be sent with a join group for "any sources". If the list contains an entry other than 0.0.0.0, an IGMP membership report "block sources" is sent with the corresponding IP address.
