NAT for DSG Unicast-only Mapping
A-DSG 1.2 supports multicast IP addressing. However, it also supports unicast IP destination addresses. On
the Cisco cBR-8 router, DSG 1.2 support is provided with the configuration of Network Address Translation
(NAT) on the router, to include these settings:
•
WAN interface(s) are configured with the
ip nat outside
command.
•
Cable interface(s) are configured with the
ip nat inside
command.
•
For each mapping, additional configuration includes the source static multicast IP address and the unicast
IP address.
The unicast IP address is the unicast destination IP address of the DSG packets arriving at the Cisco CMTS
router. The multicast IP address is the new destination IP address that is configured to map to one or a set of
DSG tunnels.
PIM and SSM for Multicast
When using Source Specific Multicast (SSM) operation in conjunction with A-DSG 1.2, the following
system-wide configuration command must be specified:
•
ip pim ssm
Refer to the
Configuring IP Multicast Operations, on page 20
.
Subinterfaces
A-DSG 1.2 supports subinterfaces on the Cisco CMTS router.
