To do...
3. Enable administrative
scoping.
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 you want to configure as a ZBR.
To do...
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter interface view.
3. Configure a multicast
forwarding boundary.
The group-address { mask | mask-length } part of the multicast boundary command can be used 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 IP Multicast Command Reference.
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 corresponding to the specific multicast
group.
Configure C-BSRs for each admin-scope zone and the global-scope zone. Perform the following
configuration on the routers that you want to configure as C-BSRs in admin-scope zones.
To do...
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter public network PIM view
or VPN instance PIM view.
3. Configure a C-BSR for an
admin-scope zone.
The group-address { mask | mask-length } parameter of the c-bsr group command can specify the
multicast groups the C-BSR serves, in the range of 239.0.0.0/8.
Configure C-BSRs for the global-scope zone. Perform the following configuration on the routers that you
want to configure as C-BSRs in the global-scope zone.
To do...
1. Enter system view.
Use the command...
c-bsr admin-scope
Use the command...
system-view
interface interface-type
interface-number
multicast boundary group-address
{ mask | mask-length }

c-bsr group group-address { mask
| mask-length } [ hash-length
