Source Control Configuration has three parts, of which the first is to enable source control. The 
command of source control is as follows: 
Command 
Explanation 
Global Configuration Mode 
[no] ip multicast source-control 
(Required) 
Enable source  control globally, the “no ip multicast 
source-control” command  disables source  control 
globally. It is noticeable that, after enabling source 
control globally, all multicast packets are discarded 
by default. All source control configuration can not 
be processed until that it is enabled globally, while 
source  control  can  not  be  disabled  until  all 
configured rules are disabled. 
The next is to configure the rule of source control. It is configured in the same manner as for 
ACL, and uses ACL number of 5000-5099, every rule  number can be used  to configure 10 
rules. It is noticeable that these rules are ordered, the front one is the one which is configured 
the earliest. Once the configured rules are matched, the following rules  won’t take effect, so 
rules of globally allow must be put at the end. The commands are as follows: 
Command 
Explanation 
Global Configuration Mode 
[no] access-list <5000-5099> 
{deny|permit} ip {{<source> <source-
wildcard>}|{host-source <source-
host-ip>}|any-source} {{<destination> 
<destination-wildcard>}|{host-
destination <destination-host-
ip>}|any-destination} 
The rule used to configure source control. This rule 
does  not  take  effect  until  it  is applied  to  specified 
port.  Using  the  NO form of  it  can delete  specified 
rule. 
The last is to configure the configured rule to specified port. 
Note: If the rules being configured will occupy the table entries of hardware, configuring too 
many rules will result in configuration failure caused by bottom table entries being full, so we 
suggest user to use the simplest rules if possible. The configuration rules are as follows: 
Command 
Explanation 
Port Configuration Mode 
[no] ip multicast source-control 
access-group <5000-5099> 
Used to configure the rules source control uses to 
port, the NO form cancels the configuration.
