Configuring Multicast Routing And Forwarding; Configuring Static Multicast Routes; Configuring A Multicast Routing Policy - HP 6125G Configuration Manual

Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enable IP multicast routing.

Configuring multicast routing and forwarding

Before you configure 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).
Determine the maximum number of downstream nodes for a single multicast forwarding table entry.
•
Determine the maximum number of entries in the multicast forwarding table.
•

Configuring static multicast routes

By configuring a static multicast route for a given multicast source, you can specify an RPF interface or an
RPF neighbor for multicast traffic from that source. If you want to remove a specific static multicast route,
use the undo ip rpf-route-static command, if you want to remove all static multicast routes, use the delete
ip rpf-route-static command.
When you configure a static multicast route, you cannot specify an RPF neighbor by providing the type
and number (interface-type interface-number) of the interface if the interface of the RPF neighbor is a
Loopback interface or VLAN interface. Instead, you can specify such an RPF neighbor only by its address
(rpf-nbr-address).
To configure a static multicast route:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Configure a static
multicast route.
3. Delete static
multicast routes.

Configuring a multicast routing policy

You can configure the router to determine the RPF route based on the longest match principle. For more
information about RPF route selection, see
By configuring per-source or per-source-and-group load splitting, you can optimize the traffic delivery
when multiple data flows are handled.
