A multicast group may be in the service range of the dynamic RP and the static RP
simultaneously. By default, The switch prefers the dynamic RP. If the static RP precedence is
configured, the static RP is preferred.
Different multicast groups correspond to different RPs. Compared with all groups corresponding
to an RP, this can reduce the burden of an RP and enhance the robustness of the network.
Pre-configuration Tasks
Before configuring basic PIM-SM functions, complete the following tasks:
l Configuring a unicast routing protocol
Data Preparation
To configure basic PIM-SM functions, you need the following data.
No. Data
1 Static RP address
2 ACL rule indicating the service scope of static RP
3 C-RP priority
4 ACL rule indicating the service scope of C-RP
5 Interval for C-RP sending Advertisement message
6 Timeout of the period during which BSR waits to receive the Advertisement message
from C-RP.
7 C-BSR Hash mask length
8 C-BSR priority
9 SSM group address range
6.3.2 Enabling IP Multicast Routing
Prior to configuring all IPv4 multicast features, enable IPv4 multicast routing.
Context
CAUTION
The configuration related to the VPN instance is applicable only to the PE switch. If the interface
of the VPN instance connects to the host, run the commands in step 3 and step 4.
Do as follows on the switch:
