Chapter 44 Configuring IP Multicast Routing
Configuring IP Multicast Routing
•
They act as multicast routing standby devices and are ready to take over if there is a stack master
failure.
If the stack master fails, all stack members delete their multicast routing tables. The newly elected
stack master starts building the routing tables and distributes them to the stack members.
Note
If a stack master running the IP services feature set fails and if the newly elected stack master
is running the IP base feature set, the switch stack loses its multicast routing capability.
For information about the stack master election process, see
Chapter 5, “Managing Switch Stacks.”
•
They do not build multicast routing tables. Instead, they use the multicast routing table that is
distributed by the stack master.
