MULTICAST ROUTE
ip multicast route
Overview Use this command to add an IPv4 static multicast route for a specific multicast
source and group IPv4 address to the multicast Routing Information Base (RIB).
This IPv4 multicast route is used to forward multicast traffic from a specific source
and group ingressing on an upstream interface to a single or range of downstream
interfaces.
Use the no variant of this command to either remove an IPv4 static multicast route
set with this command or to remove a specific downstream interface from an IPv4
static multicast route for a specific multicast source and group IPv4 address.
Syntax
ip multicast route <ipv4-source-addr> <ipv4-group-addr>
<upstream-interface> [<downstream-interface>]
no ip multicast route <ipv4-source-addr> <ipv4-group-addr>
[<upstream-interface> <downstream-interface>]
Default By default, this feature is disabled.
Mode Global Configuration
Usage notes Only one multicast route entry per IPv4 address and multicast group can be
specified. Therefore, if one entry for a static multicast route is configured, PIM will
not be able to update this multicast route in any way.
If a dynamic multicast route exists you cannot create a static multicast route with
the same source IPv4 address, group IPv4 address, upstream interface and
downstream interfaces. An error message is displayed and logged. To add a new
static multicast route, either wait for the dynamic multicast route to timeout or
clear the dynamic multicast route with the clear ip mroute command.
To update an existing static multicast route entry with more or a new set of
downstream interfaces, you must first remove the existing static multicast route
and then add the new static multicast route with all downstream interfaces
specified. If you attempt to update an existing static multicast route entry with an
additional interface or interfaces, an error message is displayed and logged.
To create a blackhole or null route where packets from a specified source and
group address coming from an upstream interface are dropped rather than
Parameter Description
<ipv4-source-addr> Source IPv4 address, in dotted decimal notation in
the format A.B.C.D.
<ipv4-group-addr> Group IPv4 address, in dotted decimal notation in the
format A.B.C.D.
<upstream-interface> Upstream interface on which the multicast packets
ingress.
<downstream-interface> Downstream interface or range of interfaces to which
the multicast packets are sent.
