9.5 Configuring the Multicast Forwarding Scope

Multicast information of each multicast group in a network should be transmitted within a certain
range. Therefore, configuring a multicast forwarding boundary are necessary for restricting the
multicast data forwarding scope.

9.5.1 Establish the Configuration Task

Before configuring the multicast data forwarding scope, familiarize yourself with the applicable
environment, pre-configuration tasks, and required data. This can help you complete the
configuration task quickly and accurately.
Applicable Environment
Multicast information to which each multicast group corresponds is forwarded in a certain scope
in network. Uers can define the multicast forwarding scope by using the following methods:
l
Pre-configuration Tasks
Before configuring the multicast forwarding scope, complete the following tasks:
l
l
Data Preparation
To configure the multicast forwarding scope, you need the following data.
Issue 01 (2011-10-26)
Devices are selected according to the longest match.
Run the following commands to check the multicast routing table.
– display multicast routing-table [ group-address [ mask { group-mask | group-mask-
length } ] | source-address [ mask { source-mask | source-mask-length } ] | incoming-
interface { interface-type interface-number | register } | outgoing-interface
{ include | exclude | match } { interface-type interface-number | register | none } ]
[ outgoing-interface-number [ number ] ]
Run the following command to check the source-specific RPF route.
display multicast rpf-info source-address [ group-address ] [ rpt | spt ]
Configuring the multicast forwarding boundary to form a close multicast forwarding area.
The interface configured with a forwarding boundary of a multicast group cannot send or
receive packets of the multicast group.
