Configuring Administrative Scoping - HP A8800 Configuration Manual

message exceeds the maximum transmission unit (MTU). In respect of such IP fragmentation, loss of a
single IP fragment leads to unavailability of the entire message.
Semantic fragmentation of BSMs can solve this issue. When a BSM exceeds the MTU, it is split to multiple
bootstrap message fragments (BSMFs).
Upon receiving a BSMF that contains the RP-set information of one group range, a non-BSR router
•
updates corresponding RP-set information directly.
• If the RP-set information of one group range is carried in multiple BSMFs, a non-BSR router updates
corresponding RP-set information upon receiving all these BSMFs.
Because the RP-set information contained in each segment is different, loss of some IP fragments will not
result in dropping of the entire message.
The function of BSM semantic fragmentation is enabled by default. Devices not supporting this function
may deem a fragment as an entire message, thus learning only part of the RP-set information. Therefore,
if such devices exist in the PIM-SM domain, you need to disable the semantic fragmentation function on
the C-BSRs.
To disable the BSM semantic fragmentation function:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter public network PIM
view or VPN instance PIM
view.
3. Disable the BSM semantic
fragmentation function.
NOTE:
Generally, a BSR performs BSM semantic fragmentation according to the MTU of its BSR interface.
However, the semantic fragmentation of BSMs originated due to learning of a new PIM neighbor is
performed according to the MTU of the outgoing interface.

Configuring administrative scoping

With administrative scoping disabled, a PIM-SM domain has only one BSR. The BSR manages the whole
network. To manage your network more effectively and specifically, you can partition the PIM-SM
domain into multiple admin-scoped zones. Each admin-scoped zone maintains a BSR, which serves a
specific multicast group range; while the global-scoped zone also maintains a BSR, which serves all the
rest multicast groups.
Enabling administrative scoping
Before configuring an admin-scoped zone, you must enable administrative scoping first.
Perform the following configuration on all routers in the PIM-SM domain.
To enable administrative scoping:
Step
1. Enter system view.
Command
system-view
pim [ vpn-instance
