PIM-DM configuration example

As shown in Figure 32:

• VOD streams are sent to receiver hosts in multicast. The receiver groups of different organizations form stub networks, and one or more receiver hosts exist in each stub network.

• The entire PIM domain operates in the dense mode.

• Host A and Host C are multicast receivers in two stub networks.

• IGMPv2 runs between Switch A and N1 and between Switch B, Switch C, and N2.

1. Assign an IP address and subnet mask to each interface according to Figure 32. (Details not shown.)

2. Configure OSPF on the switches in the PIM-DM domain to make sure the following conditions are met: (Details not shown.)

   • The switches are interoperable at the network layer.

   • The switches can dynamically update their routing information.

3. Enable IP multicast routing, IGMP, and PIM-DM:

   # On Switch A, enable IP multicast routing.

   <SwitchA> system-view
   [SwitchA] multicast routing
   [SwitchA-mrib] quit
   

   # Enable IGMP on the receiver-side interface (VLAN-interface 100).

   [SwitchA] interface vlan-interface 100
   [SwitchA-Vlan-interface100] igmp enable
   [SwitchA-Vlan-interface100] quit
   

   # Enable PIM-DM on VLAN-interface 103.

   [SwitchA] interface vlan-interface 103
   [SwitchA-Vlan-interface103] pim dm
   [SwitchA-Vlan-interface103] quit
   

   # Enable IP multicast routing, IGMP, and PIM-DM on Switch B and Switch C in the same way Switch A is configured. (Details not shown.)

   # On Switch D, enable IP multicast routing, and enable PIM-DM on each interface.

   <SwitchD> system-view
   [SwitchD] multicast routing
   [SwitchD-mrib] quit
   [SwitchD] interface vlan-interface 300
   [SwitchD-Vlan-interface300] pim dm
   [SwitchD-Vlan-interface300] quit
   [SwitchD] interface vlan-interface 103
   [SwitchD-Vlan-interface103] pim dm
   [SwitchD-Vlan-interface103] quit
   [SwitchD] interface vlan-interface 101
   [SwitchD-Vlan-interface101] pim dm
   [SwitchD-Vlan-interface101] quit
   [SwitchD] interface vlan-interface 102
   [SwitchD-Vlan-interface102] pim dm
   [SwitchD-Vlan-interface102] quit
