Enabling IPv4 Multicast Header Storage
To enable IPv4 multicast header storage, perform this task:
When enabling IPv4 multicast header storage, note the following information:
• vrf vrf_name—Allocates a buffer for the specified VRF.
• rtp—(Optional) Also caches Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP) headers.
• The buffers can be displayed with the show ip mpacket command.
This example show how to enable IPv4 multicast header storage:
Router(config)# ip multicast vrf blue cache-headers
Configuring the Maximum Number of Multicast Routes
To configure the maximum number of multicast routes, perform this task:
When configuring the maximum number of routes, note the following information:
• vrf vrf_name— Enables route limiting for the specified VRF.
• limit—The number of multicast routes that can be added. The range is from 1 to 2147483647, with
a default of 2147483647.
• threshold—(Optional) Number of multicast routes that can be added before a warning message
occurs. The valid range is from 1 to the value of the limit parameter.
This example show how to configure the maximum number of multicast routes:
Router(config)# ip multicast vrf blue route-limit 200000 20000
