Chapter 12, “Configuring InterVLAN
Routing.”
Note
You can specify the MSFC as the MLS route processor (MLS-RP) for Catalyst 5000 family switches
using MLS. Refer to the
Layer 3 Switching Configuration Guide—Catalyst 5000 Family, 2926G Series,
2926 Series Switches
for the Catalyst 5000 family switch MLS configuration procedures.
Note
This section describes how to enable IP multicast routing on the MSFC. For more detailed IP multicast
configuration information, refer to the “IP Multicast” section of the
Cisco IOS IP and IP Routing
Configuration Guide

Enabling IP Multicast Routing Globally
You must enable IP multicast routing globally on the MSFC before you can enable IP MMLS on the
MSFC interfaces.
To enable IP multicast routing globally on the MSFC, perform this task in global configuration mode:
This example shows how to enable IP multicast routing globally:
Router(config)#
ip multicast-routing
Router(config)#
Task
Command
Enable IP multicast routing globally.
Router(config)#
ip multicast-routing
