Huawei quidway s7700 - Configuring Rules for Filtering PIM-SM (Ipv6) Register Messages

suppression period, the DR periodically sends a Probe message (null Register message) to notify
the RP that the multicast source is still in the active state. After the register suppression expires,
the DR resends the Register message carrying a multicast data packet.
NOTE
Switchs under the control of default values can work normally. In the S7700, users can adjust related
parameters according to the specific network environment. If there is no special requirement, default values
are recommended.
Pre-configuration Tasks
Before adjusting control parameters of source registering, complete the following tasks:
l Configuring a unicast routing protocol
