Context
The multicast forwarding information base (MFIB) of a device controls forwarding of multicast packets. You can control forwarding of multicast packets by configuring the parameters for controlling the MFIB.
Pre-configuration Tasks
Before configuring the parameters for controlling the multicast forwarding table, complete the following tasks:
- Configure a unicast routing protocol to ensure normal unicast routing on the network.
- Run the multicast routing-enable command in the system view to enable Layer 3 multicast routing globally.
Configuration Procedure
The following configuration tasks can be performed in any sequence.
