NetEngine AR V300R019 CLI-based Configuration Guide - IP Multicast

Example for Configuring Basic PIM-DM Functions

Networking Requirements

Figure 4-19 shows a small-scale network with densely distributed users. HostA and HostB need to receive multicast data from Source.

Figure 4-19 Configuring basic PIM-DM functions

Configuration Roadmap

Since users are densely distributed on the network, PIM-DM can be deployed on the network to provide multicast services for the user hosts. After PIM-DM is configured on the network, all user hosts in a multicast group can receive video on demand (VoD) streams sent from the multicast source to the group.

Configure IP addresses for interfaces and configure a unicast routing protocol on each router. PIM is an intra-domain multicast routing protocol that depends on a unicast routing protocol. The multicast routing protocol can work normally only when the unicast routing protocol works normally.
Enable multicast routing on all the routers providing multicast services. Multicast routing is the prerequisite for PIM-DM configuration.
Enable PIM-DM on all router interfaces. Other PIM-DM functions can be configured only after PIM-DM is enabled.
Enable Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) on the interfaces connected to user network segments. The IGMP protocol maintains group memberships. The leaf routers maintain group memberships using IGMP.

If PIM-DM and IGMP need to be enabled on the same user-side interface, enable PIM-DM and then IGMP.

Procedure

Configure IP addresses for interfaces and configure a unicast routing protocol on the routers.

# Configure IP addresses and masks for router interfaces. Configure OSPF on the routers to implement IP interworking between the routers and enable the routers to dynamically update routes. (The configurations of the other routers are similar to the configuration of RouterA.)

Enable multicast routing on all the routers and enable PIM-DM on all interfaces.

# Enable multicast routing on all the routers and enable PIM-DM on all interfaces. (The configurations of the other routers are similar to the configuration of RouterA.)

[RouterA] interface gigabitethernet 3/0/0

Enable IGMP on the interfaces connected to user hosts.
# Enable IGMP on the user-side interface of RouterA. (The configurations of RouterB and RouterC are similar to the configuration of RouterA.)
```
[RouterA] interface gigabitethernet 2/0/0
[RouterA-GigabitEthernet2/0/0] igmp enable
```

Verify the configuration.

# Run the display pim interface command to check the PIM configuration and running status on router interfaces. The following is the command output on RouterC, indicating that PIM is running on the interfaces.

# Run the display pim routing-table command to check the PIM routing tables on the routers. You can see from the PIM routing tables that multicast source (10.110.3.100/24) to group (225.1.1.1/24), and HostA and HostB have joined group (225.1.1.1/24). The PIM routing tables of the routers are as follows:
