Disabling Soft Forwarding for Multicast Packets

Disabling soft forwarding for multicast packets on a multicast router prevents packet loss and disorder.

Usage Scenario

In most cases, the router forwards packets based on software before the hardware forwarding is completed. After that, the router forwards packets based on hardware.

Soft forwarding for multicast packets must be disabled on the router to prevent the low forwarding speed and first packet cache mechanism of soft forwarding from causing disorder of the first packet transmitted at a high speed.

Procedure

  1. Run system-view

    The system view is displayed.

  2. Run multicast cpu-forward disable

    Soft forwarding is disabled for multicast packets.

  3. Run commit

    The configuration is committed.
