Configuring the Multicast Forwarding Boundary

When an interface of a multicast device is configured with a forwarding boundary for a specified group, the forwarding scope of multicast packets is restricted.

Context

By default, no multicast forwarding boundary is configured on an interface.

Perform the following steps on the multicast router:

Procedure

  1. Run system-view

    The system view is displayed.

  2. Run interface interface-type interface-number

    The interface view is displayed.

  3. Run multicast boundary group-address { mask | mask-length }

    The multicast forwarding boundary is configured.

Checking the Configurations

Run the display multicast [ vpn-instance vpn-instance-name | all-instance ] boundary [ group-address [ mask | mask-length ] ] [ interface interface-type interface-number ] command to check information about the multicast boundary configured on an interface.
