Enabling Ip Multicast Routing; Configuring Multicast Routing And Forwarding; Configuring Static Multicast Routes; Configuring The Rpf Route Selection Rule - HP 5920 series Configuration Manual

NOTE:
The device can route and forward multicast data only through the primary IP addresses of interfaces,
rather than their secondary addresses or unnumbered IP addresses. For more information about primary
and secondary IP addresses, and IP unnumbered, see

Enabling IP multicast routing

Before you configure any Layer 3 multicast functionality, you must enable IP multicast routing.
To enable IP multicast routing:
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-DM or PIM-SM.
•

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 the multicast traffic from that source.
To configure a static multicast route:
Step
1. Enter system
view.
2. Configure a
static multicast
route.
3. (Optional.)
Delete static
multicast routes.

Configuring the RPF route selection rule

You can configure the router to select the RPF route based on the longest prefix match principle. For more
information about RPF route selection, see

Delete a specified static multicast route:
undo ip rpf-route-static source-address
{ mask-length | mask } { rpf-nbr-address |
interface-type interface-number }
•
Delete all static multicast routes:
delete ip rpf-route-static
