Chapter44 Configuring IP Multicast Routing
Configuring Advanced DVMRP Interoperability Features
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to change the threshold number of routes that
trigger the warning. This procedure is optional.
To return to the default setting use the no ip dvmrp routehog-notification global configuration
command.
Use the show ip igmp interface privileged EXEC command to display a running count of routes. When
the count is exceeded, *** ALERT *** is appended to the line.
Configuring a DVMRP Summary Address
By default, a Cisco device advertises in DVMRP route-report messages only connected unicast routes
(that is, only routes to subnets that are directly conne cte d t o th e rou ter ) fro m its unic as t ro utin g table .
These routes undergo normal DVMRP classful route summarization. This process depends on whether
the route being advertised is in the same classful network as the interface over which it is being
advertised.
Figure 44-9 shows an example of the default behavior. This example shows that the DVMRP report sent
by the Cisco router contains the three original routes received from the DVMRP router that have been
poison-reversed by adding 32 to the DVMRP metric. Listed after these routes are two routes that are
advertisements for the two directly connected networks (176.32. 10. 0/24 an d 1 76.32. 15. 0/24 ) tha t w e re
taken from the unicast routing table. Because the DVMRP tunnel shares the same IP address as Fast
Ethernet port 1 and falls into the same Class B network as the two directly connected subnets, classful
summarization of these routes was not performed. As a result, the DVMRP router is able to
poison-reverse only these two routes to the directly connected subnets and is able to only RPF pro perly
for multicast traffic sent by sources on these two Ethernet segments. Any other multicast source in the
network behind the Cisco router that is not on these two Ethernet segments does not properly RPF-check
on the DVMRP router and is discarded.
You can force the Cisco router to adverti se the summ ary addres s (spec ifie d by th e address an d mask pa ir
in the ip dvmrp summary-address address mask interface configuration command) in place of any
route that falls in this address range. The summary address is sent in a DVMRP route report if the unicast
routing table contains at least one route in this range; oth erwise, the summary address is not advertised.
In Figure 44-9, you configure the ip dvmrp summary-address command on the Cisco router tunnel
interface. As a result, the Cisco router sends only a single summarized Class B advertisement for
network 176.32.0.0.16 from the unicast routing table.
