Enabling IP multicast routing in the public instance
Follow these steps to enable IP multicast routing in the public instance:
To do...
Enter system view
Enable IP multicast routing
Configuring Multicast Routing and Forwarding
Configuration Prerequisites
Before configuring multicast routing and forwarding, complete the following tasks:
Configure a unicast routing protocol so that all devices in the domain are interoperable at the
network layer.
Enable PIM (PIM-DM or PIM-SM).
Before configuring multicast routing and forwarding, prepare the following data:
The minimum TTL value required for a multicast packet to be forwarded
The maximum number of downstream nodes for a single multicast forwarding table entry
The maximum number of entries in the multicast forwarding table
Configuring Multicast Static Routes
By configuring a multicast static route for a given multicast source, you can specify an RPF interface or
an RPF neighbor for multicast traffic from that source.
Follow these steps to configure a multicast static route:
To do...
Enter system view
Configure a multicast
static route
When configuring a multicast static route, you cannot specify an RPF neighbor by its interface type and
number (interface-type interface-number) if the interface type of the RPF neighbor is Ethernet, Layer 3
aggregate, Loopback, RPR, or VLAN-interface; instead, you can such an RPF neighbor only by its
address (rpf-nbr-address).
Use the command...
system-view
multicast routing-enable
Use the command...
system-view
ip rpf-route-static source-address { mask |
mask-length } [ protocol [ process-id ] ]
[ route-policy policy-name ] { rpf-nbr-address |
interface-type interface-number } [ preference
preference ] [ order order-number ]
