Configuring A Multicast Forwarding Range - HP A6600 Configuration Manual

By configuring per-source or per-source-and-group load splitting, you can optimize the traffic delivery
when multiple data flows are handled.
Configuring a multicast routing policy for the public network network
To do...
1. Enter system view.
2. Configure the router to select
the RPF route based on the
longest match.
3. Configure multicast load
splitting.
Configuring a multicast routing policy in a VPN instance
To do...
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter VPN instance view.
3. Configure the router to select
the RPF route based on the
longest match.
4. Configure multicast load
splitting.

Configuring a multicast forwarding range

Multicast packets do not travel without a boundary in a network. The multicast data corresponding to
each multicast group must be transmitted within a definite scope.
You can configure a forwarding boundary specific to a particular multicast group on all interfaces that
support multicast forwarding. A multicast forwarding boundary sets the boundary condition for the
multicast groups in the specified range. If the destination address of a multicast packet matches the set
boundary condition, the packet will not be forwarded. After you configure an interface as a multicast
boundary, the interface can no longer forward multicast packets—including packets sent from the local
router—or receive multicast packets.
To do...
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter interface view.
3. Configure a multicast
forwarding boundary.
Use the command...
system-view
multicast longest-match
multicast load-splitting { source |
source-group }
Use the command...
system-view
ip vpn-instance vpn-instance-name
multicast longest-match
multicast load-splitting { source |
source-group }
Use the command...
system-view
interface interface-type
interface-number
multicast boundary group-address
{ mask | mask-length }
