Example Of Configuring For Pim Support At The Global Level - HP ProCurve 6200yl Multicast And Routing Manual

Example of Configuring for PIM Support at the Global Level

In default PIM-SM operation, the STP path
activates and the RPT path drops off after
the first multicast packet for a group is
received via the Rendezvous Point (RP).

Figure 4-3. Example PIM-SM Domain with SPT Active To Support a Host that Has
Joined a Multicast Group
Using the topology shown above, router "B" is directly connected to the DR
for multicast group "X". In this case, suppose that you want to globally
configure router "B" for PIM operation. On the global level, you would enable
the following:
■ IP routing
■ IP multicast routing
an IP routing protocol (RIP, OSPF, or static routing; use RIP for this
■
example)
ProCurve(config)# ip routing
ProCurve(config)# ip multicast-routing
ProCurve(config)# router rip
ProCurve(rip)# exit
ProCurve(config)# router pim
ProCurve(pim)# exit
ProCurve(config)#
