To configure an SSM translate policy

Note: IGMP must be enabled on the routers to which you intend to distribute the SSM translate policy.

Steps
 

Choose Policies→Multicast→SSM Translate from the NFM-P main menu. The SSM Translate Policies form opens.


Click Create or select an existing policy and click Properties. The SSM Translate Policy (Create|Edit) form opens.


Configure the parameters as required.


Click on the SSM Translate Items tab and click Create. The SSM Translate Policy Item (Create) form opens.


Configure the parameters as required and save your changes. The SSM Translate Policy (Create|Edit) form reappears.

Note: The SSM Translate Items added to a policy should not have overlapping IPv4 address ranges, otherwise a configuration error message will be issued.


Click Apply to save your changes. The form refreshes to display additional tabs and buttons.


Click Distribute to manually release and distribute the policy locally to devices. See To release and distribute a policy for additional information. Policies are also automatically distributed to devices when they are used by resources on the device.

Note: When you distribute an SSM Translate policy to a router, it replaces any SSM Translate policy that may exist on that router. All existing SSM Translate Items on the router will be overwritten.


Close the SSM Translate Policy (Create|Edit) form. The SSM Translate Policies form reappears.


Click Search to display the newly created policy or policies in the bottom panel of the form.
