Configuring multicast load splitting
You can enable the device to split multiple data flows on a per-source basis or on a
per-source-and-group basis. This optimizes the traffic delivery.
To configure multicast load splitting:
Step
Command
Remarks
1.
Enter system view.
system-view
N/A
2.
Enter MRIB view.
multicast routing
[
vpn-instance
vpn-instance-name
]
N/A
3.
Configure multicast load
splitting.
load-splitting
{
source
|
source-group
}
By default, multicast load splitting
is disabled.
This command does not take
effect on BIDIR-PIM.
Configuring a multicast forwarding boundary
You can configure an interface as a multicast forwarding boundary for a multicast group range. The
interface cannot receive or forward multicast packets for the group range.
TIP:
You do not need to enable IP multicast routing before this configuration.
To configure a multicast forwarding boundary:
Step

N/A
3.
Configure the interface as a

boundary for a multicast
group range.

By default, an interface is not a
multicast forwarding boundary.
Setting the multicast hardware resource mode
Multicast hardware resource has the following modes:
•
Normal
—The switching fabric modules replicate multicast and broadcast traffic to all LPUs.
This mode consumes a large amount of bandwidth.
•
Enhance
—The switching fabric modules replicate multicast traffic only to LPUs that have
receivers.
For this feature to take effect, you must save the configuration and reboot the device.
