Static Mroute Config - TP-Link JetStream T2700G-28TQ User Manual

The static multicast routing is an important foundation for the RPF check. In the RPF check
process, with static multicast routing configured, the router will choose one as the RPF route after
comparing the optimal unicast route and the static multicast route selected respectively from the
unicast routing table and the static multicast routing table.
Figure 11-26 Static Multicast Routing
As shown in Figure 11-26, when no static multicast routing entry is configured, the RPF neighbor
of Router C to the multicast source is Router A. The multicast packets sent from Source will be
transferred along the path Router A→Router C, which is the same as the unicast path. When
Router C is configured with static multicast routing and the RPF neighbor of Router C to Source is
configured as Router B, the multicast data sent from Source will travel along a different path
Router A→Router B→Router C.
