Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

Before configuring Layer 3 multicast, you must enable the multicast routing function globally. Layer 3 multicast protocols (such as PIM and IGMP) and other Layer 3 multicast functions can be configured only after multicast routing is enabled.

Precautions

For the S5735-L, S5735S-L, S5735S-L-M, S5735-S, S5735-S-I, and S5735S-S, the multicast functions (both Layer 2 and Layer 3 multicast functions) conflict with the flow control function.

The undo multicast routing-enable command deletes all multicast configurations of the public network instance or a VPN instance. If multicast services are running in the instance, the multicast services are interrupted when this command is executed. To restore multicast services on the instance, you must re-configure the corresponding commands.

Example

# Enable multicast routing globally.
