Multicast Protocol Configuration Examples
Keywords: IGMP, PIM-DM, PIM-SM, IGMP Snooping
Abstract: This document introduces how to configure multicast functions on Ethernet
switches in practical networking, based on three typical networking scenarios:
1. Deployment of PIM-DM plus IGMP, with and without IGMP Snooping respectively.
Multicast group filtering in IGMP and IGMP Snooping is mainly described for this
scenario.
2. Deployment of PIM-SM plus IGMP, with and without IGMP Snooping respectively.
Simulated joining is mainly described for this scenario.
3. IGMP Snooping only.
Acronyms: IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol), IGMP Snooping (Internet Group
Management Protocol Snooping), PIM-DM (Protocol Independent Multicast Dense
Mode), PIM-SM (Protocol Independent Multicast Sparse Mode)
