Description
The fp CLI node contains the multicast path management configuration commands for IOM-3 ingress
multicast management. Ingress multicast management manages multicast switch fabric paths which
are forwarding plane specific. On IOM-1 and IOM-2, each MDA has a dedicated forwarding plane
and so have dedicated multicast paths to the switch fabric allowing the multicast management to be
defined per MDA. IOM-3 has a single forwarding plane shared by two MDAs making the previous
model of managing multicast at the MDA level problematic. The fp node has been added to simplify
ingress multicast management on IOM-3.
In subsequent releases, the fp node will be moved to IOM-1 and IOM-2 and the multicast path
management commands will be consistent for all IOM types. Other forwarding plane resource
configuration commands (i.e. buffer pool management) are expected to also move to the fp node.
While IOM-3 only has a single forwarding plane, other IOMs that will use the node in the future will
have multiple (i.e. IOM-1 and IOM-2). To accommodate multiple forwarding planes, each forwarding
plane is assigned a number. The default forwarding plane is 1. When entering the fp node, if the
forwarding plane number is omitted, the system will assume forwarding plane number 1. All show
and save configuration output must include the forwarding plane number.
Parameters
fp-number —
The fp-number parameter is optional following the fp command. If omitted, the system
assumes forwarding plane number 1. More than a single forwarding plane will be supported in
the future when IOMs other than IOM-3 are supported.

Description
The ingress CLI node within the fp node contains the multicast path management configuration
commands for IOM-3 ingress multicast management. For this release, on the bandwidth-policy
command is supported within the ingress node.
