The IP Multicast Volume is organized as follows:

Features

Description

Multicast Overview

The volume gives multicast technology overview.

l Multicast models

l Multicast architecture

l Multicast packet forwarding mechanism

Multicast Routing and Forwarding

The multicast routing protocol uses the reverse path forwarding (RPF) check mechanism to ensure multicast data delivery along the correct path.

l Introduction to multicast routing and forwarding

l Multicast routing and forwarding configuration

IGMP Snooping

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

l Basic functions configuration of IGMP Snooping

l IGMP Snooping port functions configuration

l IGMP Snooping querier configuration

l IGMP Snooping policy configuration

IGMP

As a TCP/IP protocol responsible for IP multicast group member management, the Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is used by IP hosts to establish and maintain their multicast group memberships to immediately neighboring multicast routers.

l IGMP basic functions configuration

l IGMP performance adjustment

MSDP

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.

l MSDP basic functions configuration

l MSDP peer connection configuration

l SA message configuration

PIM

Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) provides IP multicast forwarding by leveraging static routes or unicast routing tables generated by any unicast routing protocol.

l PIM-DM configuration

l PIM-SM configuration

l PIM-SSM configuration

l PIM common features configuration

Multicast VLAN

This manual describes multicast VLAN configuration.

IPv6 Multicast Routing and Forwarding

The IPv6 multicast routing protocol uses the reverse path forwarding (RPF) to ensure IPv6 multicast data delivery along the correct path.

l Introduction to IPv6 multicast routing and forwarding

l IPV6 multicast routing and forwarding configuration

MLD Snooping

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.

l MLD Snooping basic functions configuration

l MLD Snooping port functions configuration

l MLD Snooping querier configuration

l MLD Snooping policy configuration

MLD

The Multicast Listener Discovery protocol (MLD) is used by an IPv6 router to discover the presence of multicast listeners on the directly attached subnets.

l MLD basic functions configuration
