Chapter 42 Configuring IP Multicast Routing

Configuring Advanced PIM Features

Monitoring the RP Mapping Information

To monitor the RP mapping information, use these commands in privileged EXEC mode:

show ip pim bsr displays information about the elected BSR.

show ip pim rp-hashgroup displays the RP that was selected for the specified group.

show ip pim rp [group-name group-address mapping] displays how the switch learns of the RP (through the BSR or the Auto-RP mechanism).

Troubleshooting PIMv1 and PIMv2 Interoperability Problems

When debugging interoperability problems between PIMv1 and PIMv2, check these in the order shown:

1.Verify RP mapping with the show ip pim rp-hashprivileged EXEC command, making sure that all systems agree on the same RP for the same group.

2.Verify interoperability between different versions of DRs and RPs. Make sure the RPs are interacting with the DRs properly (by responding with register-stops and forwarding decapsulated data packets from registers).

Configuring Advanced PIM Features

These sections describe the optional advanced PIM features:

Delaying the Use of PIM Shortest-Path Tree, page 42-27(optional)

Modifying the PIM Router-Query Message Interval, page 42-28(optional)

Understanding PIM Shared Tree and Source Tree

By default, members of a group receive data from senders to the group across a single data-distribution tree rooted at the RP. Figure 42-5shows this type of shared-distribution tree. Data from senders is delivered to the RP for distribution to group members joined to the shared tree.
