Configuring IP Multicast Routing
Configuring IP Multicast Routing
To configure IP multicast routing, perform the following procedure, beginning in global configuration
mode:
Command
Step 1
Router(config)# ip multicast-routing
Step 2
Router(config)# interface type number
Step 3
Router(config-if)# ip pim
sparse mode
Step 4
Router(config)# ip pim rp-address
rendezvous-point ip address
Step 5
Router(config-if)# end
Step 6
Router# copy running-config startup-config
Monitoring and Verifying IP Multicast Operation
After IP multicast routing is configured, you can monitor and verify its operation by performing the
commands listed in
Table 10-10 IP Multicast Routing Show Commands
Command
Router# show ip mroute
Router# show ip pim neighbor
Router# show ip pim interface
Router# show ip pim rp

Chapter 10
Purpose
Enables IP multicasting on the ML-Series card.
Enters interface configuration mode to configure
any interface.
|
Runs IP multicast routing on each interface on
which you enter this command. You must indicate
dense mode, sparse mode, or sparse-dense mode.
Configures a rendezvous point for the multicast
group.
Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
(Optional) Saves your configuration changes to
NVRAM.
Purpose
Shows the complete multicast routing table and the combined
statistics of packets processed.
When used in EXEC mode, lists the PIM neighbors
discovered by the Cisco IOS software.
Displays information about interfaces configured for PIM.
When used in EXEC mode, displays the active rendezvous
points (RPs) that are cached with associated multicast routing
entries.
