With Release 12.1(11b)E and later releases, when you are in configuration mode you can enter EXEC

mode-level commands by entering the do keyword before the EXEC mode-level command.

Enabling RGMP on Layer 3 Interfaces

To enable RGMP on a Layer 3 interface, perform this task:
Command
Step 1
Router(config)# interface {{vlan vlan_ID} |
1
{type slot/port} | {port-channel number}}
Step 2
Router(config-if)# ip rgmp
Router(config-if)# no ip rgmp
Step 3
Router(config-if)# end
Step 4
Router# debug ip rgmp [name_or_group_address]
1. type = ethernet, fastethernet, gigabitethernet, tengigabitethernet, or ge-wan
This example shows how to configure RGMP on FastEthernet port 3/3:
Router# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line.
Router(config)# interface fastethernet 3/3
Router(config-if)# ip rgmp
Router(config-if)# end
Router#

The following properties of RGMP are the same as for IGMP snooping:
RGMP constrains traffic based on the multicast group, not on the sender's IP address.
–
If spanning tree topology changes occur in the network, the state is not flushed as it is with
–
Cisco Group Management Protocol (CGMP).
RGMP does not constrain traffic for multicast groups 224.0.0.x (x = 0...255), which allows use
–
of PIMv2 bootstrap router (BSR) in an RGMP-controlled network.
– RGMP in Cisco network devices operates on MAC addresses, not on IP multicast addresses.
Because multiple IP multicast addresses can map to one MAC address (see RFC 1112), RGMP
cannot differentiate between the IP multicast groups that might map to a MAC address.
The capability of the Catalyst 6500 series switch to constrain traffic is limited by its
–
content-addressable memory (CAM) table capacity.
