Organization
The IP Multicast Volume is organized as follows:
Features (operation manual) | Description |
Multicast Overview | The volume describes the main concepts in multicast: l Multicast overview l Multicast Models l Multicast Architecture l Multicast Packets Forwarding Mechanism |
Multicast Routing and Forwarding | The volume describes: l Multicast routing and forwarding overview l Multicast routing and forwarding configuration |
IGMP Snooping | Running at the data link layer, IGMP Snooping is a multicast control mechanism on the Layer 2 Ethernet switch and it is used for multicast group management and control. The volume describes: l IGMP snooping overview l IGMP snooping configuration l Troubleshooting IGMP Snooping |
IGMP | Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is a protocol in the TCP/IP suite responsible for management of IP multicast members. The volume describes: l IGMP overview l Configuring basic functions of IGMP l Configuring IGMP performance parameters l Troubleshooting IGMP |
PIM | PIM is widely used multicast routing protocols. It discovers multicast source and delivers information to the receivers. The volume describes: l PIM overview l Configuring PIM-DM l Configuring PIM-SM l Configuring PIM-SSM l Configuring PIM Common Features l Troubleshooting PIM |
MSDP | Multicast source discovery protocol (MSDP) describes interconnection mechanism of multiple PIM-SM domains. It is used is to discover multicast source information in other PIM-SM domains. The volume describes: l MSDP overview l MSDP configuration |
IPv6 Multicast Routing and Forwarding | The volume describes: l IPv6 Multicast routing and forwarding overview 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. The volume describes: l MLD Snooping overview l MLD Snooping configuration l Troubleshooting MLD Snooping |
MLD | MLD is used by an IPv6 router or a routing switch to discover the presence of multicast listeners on directly-attached subnets. The volume describes: l MLD overview l MLD configuration l Troubleshooting MLD |
IPv6 PIM | IPv6 PIM discovers multicast source and delivers information to the receivers. The volume describes: l IPv6 PIM Overview l Configuring IPv6 PIM-DM l Configuring IPv6 PIM-SM l Configuring IPv6 PIM-SSM l Troubleshooting IPv6 PIM l Board Intermixing for IPv6 Multicast |
Multicast VLAN | When users in different VLANs request the service, multicast flow is duplicated in each VLAN and thus a great deal of bandwidth is wasted. To solve this problem, you can add switch ports to a multicast VLAN and enable IGMP Snooping to allow users in different VLANs to share the same multicast VLAN. The volume describes: l Multicast VLAN overview l Multicast VLAN configuration |
