Configuration

[SwitchC-Vlan-interface300] pim dm
[SwitchC-Vlan-interface300] quit
The configuration on Switch A, Switch B and Switch D is similar to the configuration on
Switch C. The specific configuration steps are omitted here.
3)
Configure a multicast static route
# Configure a multicast static route on Switch C, specifying Switch D as its RPF
neighbor on the route to Source 2.
[SwitchC] ip rpf-route-static 10.220.5.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.3.2
4)
Verify the configuration
# Before the above-mentioned multicast static route is configured, Receiver can
multicast data from Source 1, but cannot receive multicast data from Source 2. Use the
display multicast rpf-info
command to view the RPF routes to Source 1 and Source 2
respectively on Switch C.
[SwitchC] display multicast rpf-info 10.110.5.100
RPF information about source 10.110.5.100:
RPF interface: Vlan-interface100, RPF neighbor: 10.110.1.1
Referenced route/mask: 10.110.5.0/24
Referenced route type: igp
Route selection rule: preference-preferred
Load splitting rule: disable
[SwitchC] display multicast rpf-info 10.220.5.100
As shown above, Switch C does not have an RPF route to Source 2.
# After the multicast static route is configured, use the
display multicast rpf-info
command to view the RPF route to Source 2 again on Switch C.
[SwitchC] display multicast rpf-info 10.220.5.100
RPF information about source 10.220.5.100:
RPF interface: Vlan-interface300, RPF neighbor: 192.168.3.2
Referenced route/mask: 10.220.5.0/24
Referenced route type: multicast static
Route selection rule: preference-preferred
Load splitting rule: disable
As shown above, an RPF route to Source 2 has been established on Switch C.
8.6 Troubleshooting Multicast Routing and Forwarding
8.6.1 Multicast Static Route Failure
I. Symptom
No dynamic routing protocol is enabled on the routers, and the physic status and link
layer status of interfaces are both up, but the multicast static route fails.
