About multicast source registration

Restrictions and guidelines

On all C-RP devices, configure a PIM register policy and the checksum computing method for register messages.

On all devices that might become the source-side DR, set the register suppression time.

Procedure

  1. Enter system view.

    system-view

  2. Enter PIM view.

  3. Configure a PIM register policy.

    By default, the device calculates the checksum based on the header of a register message.

  5. Set the register suppression time.
