domain boundary
pim bsr-boundary
Required
By default, domain boundary is
not set for the switch.
Caution:
z When the PIM-SM domain boundary is set, Bootstrap messages cannot pass the
boundary in any direction. In this way, PIM-SM domains are divided.
z When this feature is configured, Bootstrap messages cannot pass the boundary.
However, the other PIM messages can pass the domain boundary. The network can
be effectively divided into domains using different BSRs.
7.4.4 Configuring the RP to Filter Register Messages from the DR
Through the register message filtering mechanism in a PIM-SM network, you can
determine which sources send packets to which groups on the RP, that is, the RP can
filter the register messages from the DR and receive the specified messages only.
Follow these steps to configure the RP to filter the register messages from the DR:
