Creating An Rpf Route - HP A5500 SI Switch Series Configuration Manual

# Configure a multicast static route on Switch B, specifying Switch C as its RPF neighbor on the route to
Source.
[SwitchB] ip rpf-route-static 50.1.1.100 24 20.1.1.2
Verify the configuration
4.
# Use the display multicast rpf-info command to view the information about the RPF route to Source on
Switch B.
[SwitchB] display multicast rpf-info 50.1.1.100
RPF information about source 50.1.1.100:
RPF interface: Vlan-interface101, RPF neighbor: 20.1.1.2
Referenced route/mask: 50.1.1.0/24
Referenced route type: multicast static
Route selection rule: preference-preferred
Load splitting rule: disable
The output shows that the RPF route on Switch B has changed. It is now the configured multicast static
route, and the RPF neighbor is now Switch C.

Creating an RPF route

Network requirements
PIM-DM runs in the network and all switches in the network support IP multicast.
•
Switch B and Switch C run OSPF, and have no unicast routes to Switch A.
•
Receiver can receive the multicast data from Source 1 in the OSPF domain.
•
Perform the following configuration so that Receiver can receive multicast data from Source 2,
•
which is outside the OSPF domain.
