Configuring an admin-scope zone boundary
The boundary of each admin-scope zone is formed by ZBRs. Each admin-scope zone maintains a BSR,
which serves a specific multicast group range. Multicast protocol packets (such as assert messages and
bootstrap messages) that belong to this range cannot cross the admin-scope zone boundary.
Perform the following configuration on routers that can become a ZBR.
Follow these steps to configure an admin-scope zone boundary:
To do...
Enter system view
Enter interface view
Configure a multicast forwarding

to specify the multicast groups an admin-scope zone serves, in the range of 239.0.0.0/8. For more
information about the multicast boundary command, see the
Configuring C-BSRs for each admin-scope zone and the global-scope zone
In a network with administrative scoping enabled, group-range-specific BSRs are elected from C-BSRs. C-
RPs in the network send advertisement messages to the specific BSR. The BSR summarizes the
advertisement messages to form an RP-set and advertises it to all routers in the specific admin-scope
zone. All the routers use the same hash algorithm to get the RP address that corresponds to the specific
multicast group.
