Configuration Notes

• Enable IP routing function before using this feature, for details please refer to Configuring IP Routing.
• Currently, only one scope zone is supported, configuring multiple multicast scope zones is not supported.、
• Only PIM-SM and PIM-SSM are supported, PIM-DM is not supported.

Procedure

Step1         Configure VLAN interface.

                   a)      Configure VLAN ID.

   set vlans vlan-id <vlan-id>

                   b)     Assign VLAN to physical port.

   set interface gigabit-ethernet <port> family ethernet-switching native-vlan-id <vlan-id>

                   c)     Associate a Layer 3 interface with a VLAN.

   set vlans vlan-id <vlan-id> l3-interface <interface-name>

                   d)     Configure the IP address of the Layer 3 VLAN interface.

   set vlan-interface interface <interface-name> vif <vif-name> address <address> prefix-length <number>

Step2         Enable IP routing.

                  set ip routing enable <true | false>

Step3         Enable the VLAN interfaces as multicast interface.

                  set multicast-interface interface <interface-name> vif <vif-name> disable <true | false>

Step4         Enable IGMP on the L3 VLAN interfaces of the PIM router connected to the receiver.

                  set protocols igmp interface <interface-name> vif <vif-name> disable <true | false>

Step5         Enable PIM-SM on the L3 VLAN interfaces.

           set protocols pimsm4 interface <interface-name> vif <vif-name> disable <true | false>

Step6         Configure static RPs.

                   a)      Configure the IP address of a static RP.

                  set protocols pimsm4 static-rps rp <rp-address>

                   b)     Assign the group prefix address served by the static RP.

                 set protocols pimsm4 static-rps rp <rp-address> group-prefix <IPv4Net>

                   c)     Configure parameters of static RP.

         set protocols pimsm4 static-rps rp <rp-address> group-prefix <IPv4Net> rp-priority <rp-priority>

                 set protocols pimsm4 static-rps rp <rp-address> group-prefix <IPv4Net> hash-mask-len <hash-length>

Step7        Configure dynamic RP.

                   a)      Enable bootstrap function.

          set protocols pimsm4 bootstrap disable <true | false>

                   b)     Configure C-BSR.

   •    Configure a range of multicast scope zone that can serve on the C-RP.

                           set protocols pimsm4 bootstrap cand-bsr scope-zone <IPv4Net>

   •    Configure a VLAN interface or loopback interface to use as the C-BSR.

                           set protocols pimsm4 bootstrap cand-bsr scope-zone <IPv4Net> cand-bsr-by-vif-name <vif-interface-name>

                           set protocols pimsm4 bootstrap cand-bsr scope-zone <IPv4Net> cand-bsr-by-vif-addr <IP-address>

                   c)     Configure C-RP.

   •    Configure a range of multicast scope zone that can serve on the C-BSR.

                          set protocols pimsm4 bootstrap cand-rp group-prefix <IPv4Net>

   •    Configure a VLAN interface or loopback interface to use as the C-RP.

                          set protocols pimsm4 bootstrap cand-rp group-prefix <IPv4Net> cand-rp-by-vif-addr <IP-address>

                          set protocols pimsm4 bootstrap cand-rp group-prefix <IPv4Net> cand-rp-by-vif-name <vif-interface-name>

Step8       (Optional) Adjust the PIM protocol parameters in Hello message.

                set protocols pimsm4 interface <interface-name> vif <vif-name> dr-priority <dr-priority>

                set protocols pimsm4 interface <interface-name> vif <vif-name> hello-period <interval>

                set protocols pimsm4 interface <interface-name> vif <vif-name> hello-triggered-delay < interval>

Step9      (Optional) Configure SPT switchover function.

                 a)      Enable the SPT switchover function.

                set protocols pimsm4 switch-to-spt-threshold disable <true | false>

                 b)      Configure the SPT Switchover Condition.

                set protocols pimsm4 switch-to-spt-threshold bytes <traffic-rate>

                set protocols pimsm4 switch-to-spt-threshold interval <value>

Step10      (Optional) Configure the subnet of an indirect Source.

                set protocols pimsm4 interface <interface-name> vif <vif-name> alternative-subnet <IPv4Net>
