Introduction to the IP Multicast Volume

The IP Multicast Volume includes the following manuals:

Manual name

Description

Multicast Forwarding and Routing Commands

Multicast routing and forwarding policies are a set of policies used for filtering RPF route selection information in multicast. This manual mainly describes the configuration commands for multicast routing and forwarding.

IGMP Snooping Commands

Internet Group Management Protocol Snooping (IGMP Snooping) is a multicast constraining mechanism that runs on Layer 2 devices to manage and control multicast groups. This manual mainly describes IGMP Snooping configuration commands.

IGMP Commands

The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is a TCP/IP protocol responsible for IP multicast group membership management. This manual mainly describes IGMP configuration commands.

MSDP Commands

The Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP) is an inter-domain multicast solution developed to address the interconnection of Protocol Independent Multicast Sparse Mode (PIM-SM) domains. It is used to discover and advertise multicast source information in other PIM-SM domains. This manual mainly describes MSDP configuration commands.

PIM Commands

Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) is the most popular intra-domain multicast routing protocol. By discovering multicast sources and constructing multicast forwarding trees, PIM delivers multicast traffic to the receivers. This manual mainly describes PIM configuration commands.

Multicast VLAN Commands

When receivers in different VLANs require the same multicast data, multicast VLAN can be configured to reduce the bandwidth usage of multicast traffic. This manual mainly describes multicast VLAN configuration commands.

IPv6 Multicast Routing and Forwarding Commands

IPv6 multicast routing and forwarding policies are a set of policies used for filtering RPF route selection information in IPv6 multicast. This manual mainly describes configuration commands for IPv6 multicast routing and forwarding.

MLD Snooping Commands

Multicast Listener Discovery Snooping (MLD Snooping) is an IPv6 multicast constraining mechanism that runs on Layer 2 devices to manage and control IPv6 multicast groups. This manual mainly describes MLD Snooping configuration commands.

MLD Commands

The Multicast Listener Discovery Protocol (MLD) is used by IPv6 routers to discover the presence of IPv6 multicast listeners on the directly attached subnets. This manual mainly describes MLD configuration commands.

IPv6 PIM Commands

Protocol Independent Multicast for IPv6 (IPv6 PIM) is the most popular intra-domain multicast routing protocol in IPv6 networks. By discovering multicast sources and constructing multicast forwarding trees, IPv6 PIM delivers multicast traffic to the receivers. This manual mainly describes IPv6 PIM configuration commands.

IPv6 Multicast VLAN Commands

When receivers in different VLANs require the same IPv6 multicast data, IPv6 multicast VLAN can be configured to reduce the bandwidth usage of IPv6 multicast traffic. This manual mainly describes IPv6 multicast VLAN configuration commands.

Multicast VPN Commands

Multicast VPN is a technique that implements multicast delivery over MPLS L3VPN networks. This manual mainly describes multicast VPN configuration commands.

MBGP Commands

The Multicast Border Gateway Protocol (MBGP) is the multicast extension of the Multiprotocol Border Gateway Protocol (MP-BGP). MBGP provides routing information for multiple multicast applications. This manual mainly describes MBGP configuration commands.

IPv6 MBGP Commands

The IPv6 Multicast Border Gateway Protocol (IPv6 MBGP) is the multicast extension of the Multiprotocol Border Gateway Protocol (MP-BGP). IPv6 MBGP provides routing information for multiple multicast applications. This manual mainly describes IPv6 MBGP configuration commands.
