Procedure
l Run the following commands to check the multicast routing table.
– display multicast { vpn-instance vpn-instance-name | all-instance } routing-table
[ group-address [ mask { group-mask | group-mask-length } ] | source-address
[ mask { source-mask | source-mask-length } ] | incoming-interface { interface-type
interface-number | register } | outgoing-interface { include | exclude | match }
{ interface-type interface-number | register | none } ]
*
[ outgoing-interface-
number [ number ] ]
– display multicast routing-table [ group-address [ mask { group-mask | group-mask-
length } ] | source-address [ mask { source-mask | source-mask-length } ] | incoming-
interface { interface-type interface-number | register } | outgoing-interface
{ include | exclude | match } { interface-type interface-number | vpn-instance vpn-
instance-name | register | none } ]
*
[ outgoing-interface-number [ number ] ]
l Run the following command to check the source-specific RPF route.
display multicast [ vpn-instance vpn-instance-name | all-instance ] rpf-info source-
address [ group-address ] [ rpt | spt ]

9.5 Configuring the Multicast Forwarding Scope
Multicast information of each multicast group in a network should be transmitted within a certain
range. Therefore, configuring a multicast forwarding boundary are necessary for restricting the
multicast data forwarding scope.
9.5.1 Establish the Configuration Task
Before configuring the multicast data forwarding scope, familiarize yourself with the applicable
environment, pre-configuration tasks, and required data. This can help you complete the
configuration task quickly and accurately.
Applicable Environment
Multicast information to which each multicast group corresponds is forwarded in a certain scope
in network. Uers can define the multicast forwarding scope by using the following methods:
l Configuring the multicast forwarding boundary to form a close multicast forwarding area.
The interface configured with a forwarding boundary of a multicast group cannot send or
receive packets of the multicast group.
Pre-configuration Tasks
Before configuring the multicast forwarding scope, complete the following tasks:
l Configuring a unicast routing protocol
l Configuring basic multicast functions
Data Preparation
To configure the multicast forwarding scope, you need the following data.
