• Determine the routers to configure as C-BSRs. In many applications, the best choice may be to configure all
routers in the domain as candidates for this function.
• Determine the multicast group support you want on each C-RP and any static RPs in the domain. The easiest
option is to enable C-RP to support all possible multicast groups on all routers in the domain. However, if there
are traffic control considerations you want to apply, you can limit specific multicast groups to specific routers
and/or set priorities so that default traffic routes support optimum bandwidth usage.
Per-router global configuration context
Use these steps to enable routing and PIM operation in the global configuration context of each PIM-SM router
(
HP(config)#_
):
Procedure
1.
Enable routing. (Use
ip routing
.)
2.
Enable multicast routing. (Use
ip multicast-routing
.)
3.
Enable PIM. (Use
router pim enable
.)
4.
Configure the routing method(s) needed to reach the interfaces (VLANs) on which you want multicast traffic
available for multicast receivers in your network:
• Enable RIP or OSPF. (Use
router rip enable
or
router ospf enable
)
• If desired, configure static routes to the destination subnets. (Use
ip route
dest-ip-address
/
mask-
bits
next-hop-ip-addr
.)
Per-VLAN PIM-SM configuration
These steps configure PIM-SM in the VLAN interface context for each VLAN configured on the router
(
switch(vlan-
vid
)#_
).
Procedure
1.
Enable IGMP. (Use
ip igmp
.) Repeat this action on every router (and switch) having membership in the
VLAN.
NOTE:
You can use either IGMPv2 or v3. Ensure that PIM and IGMP are enabled for the VLAN in
the PIM designated router, even if no clients are connected.
2.
For both the global and VLAN levels on the routers where there are connected multicast receivers that may
issue joins or send multicast traffic, use the same routing method as Step 4 of this procedure.
3.
Enable PIM-SM on the VLAN interfaces where you want to allow routed multicast traffic. (Default: disabled)
a.
If these VLANs do not already have static IP addresses, then statically configure one or more IP addresses
on each VLAN you want to support PIM-SM operation. (PIM-SM cannot be enabled on a VLAN that does
not have a statically configured IP address. That is, PIM-SM cannot use an IP address acquired by DHCP/
Bootp.)
b.
Use
ip pim-sparse
to enter the VLAN's
pim-sparse
context and do one of the following:
