Configuring Multicast Load Splitting; Configuring A Multicast Forwarding Boundary; Configuring Static Multicast Mac Address Entries - HP 5920 series Configuration Manual

To configure a multicast routing policy:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Configure the device to select
the RPF route based on the
longest prefix match.

Configuring multicast load splitting

To optimize the traffic delivery for multiple data flows, you can configure load sharing on a per-source
basis or on a per-source-and-group basis.
To configure multicast load splitting:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Configure multicast load
splitting.

Configuring a multicast forwarding boundary

A multicast forwarding boundary sets the boundary condition for the multicast groups in a specified
range. The multicast data for a multicast group travels within a definite boundary in a network. If the
destination address of a multicast packet matches the boundary condition, the packet is not forwarded.
If an interface is configured as a multicast boundary, it can no longer forward multicast packets
(including packets sent from the local device), nor receive multicast packets.
To configure a multicast forwarding boundary:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter interface view.
3. Configure a multicast
forwarding boundary.

Configuring static multicast MAC address entries

In Layer 2 multicast, multicast MAC address entries can be dynamically created or added through Layer
2 multicast protocols (such as IGMP snooping). You can also manually configure static multicast MAC
address entries to bind multicast MAC addresses and ports to control the destination ports of the multicast
data.
When you configure static multicast MAC address entries, follow these guidelines:
You can configure static multicast MAC address entries on the specified interface in system view, or
•
on the current interface in interface view.
