IP Multicast Configuration Overview

Alcatel-Lucent 7705 SAR routers use IGMP and MLD to manage membership of host
receivers for a given multicast session. The routers use PIM SSM to connect to the multicast
source and to the network.
Traffic can only flow away from the router to an IGMP or MLD interface; it can flow both to
and from a PIM interface. A router directly connected to a source of multicast traffic must
have PIM enabled on the interface to that source. The traffic travels through a network from
PIM interface to PIM interface, and arrives on an IGMP- or MLD-enabled interface.
IGMP and MLD

The IGMP and MLD CLI contexts are created when the config>router>igmp and
>mld commands are run. They are not operational until at least one interface is specified in
the context, at which time the interface is enabled for IGMP or MLD and is called an IGMP
or MLD interface. When enabled, the interface can be configured with IGMP or MLD
parameters, which are in addition to the standard parameters for the interface when it is
created.
You can filter traffic on an IGMP or MLD interface by defining and importing a routing
policy. You can also define the maximum number of groups to which the interface can
belong.
Note: Before an IP interface can be specified in an IGMP or MLD context, it must be created
on the 7705 SAR (config>router>interface or config>service>ies>
interface).
Static Groups
Static IGMP and MLD group memberships can be configured so that multicast forwarding
can be set up without any host receivers in the group. When static IGMP or MLD group
membership is enabled, data is forwarded to an interface even though membership reports
from one or more host members have not been received.
When static IGMP or MLD group entries on point-to-point links that connect routers to a
rendezvous point (RP) are configured, the static IGMP or MLD group entries do not generate
Join messages toward the RP. When a host wants to receive multicast sessions, it sends a Join
message to each multicast group it wants to join. When a host wants to leave a multicast
session, it sends a Leave message to each multicast group it wants to leave.
36 7705 SAR OS Routing Protocols Guide

IP Multicast
A multicast router keeps a list of multicast group memberships for each attached network and
an interval timer for each membership. Host receivers issue a Multicast Group Membership
Report when they want to receive a multicast session. In MLDv2, Leaves and Joins are both
sub-messages of Report messages. These reports are sent to all multicast routers.
SSM Translation
The 7705 SAR supports SSM translation at both the protocol level and the interface level for
both IGMP and MLD. When configured at the protocol level, the specified group and source
addresses apply to all newly created IGMP and MLD interfaces. Configuring ssm-
translation at the interface level overrides any protocol-level values for the specified
interface.
PIM
Use the config>router>pim command to create the PIM CLI context. The PIM protocol
is not operational until at least one interface is specified for it, at which time the interface is
enabled for PIM and is called a PIM interface. Once enabled, a PIM interface can be
configured with PIM parameters, which are in addition to the standard parameters for the
interface when it is created. When PIM is operational, data is forwarded to network segments
with active host receivers that have explicitly requested the multicast group.
Note:
• Before an IP interface can be specified in the PIM context, it must be created on the
7705 SAR (config>router>interface or config>service>ies>interface).
• PIM interfaces can be automatically created once an IP or IES interface has been
created by using the apply-to command.
Hardware Support
IGMP and MLD are supported on the following:
• all Ethernet adapter cards except for the 8-port Ethernet Adapter card, version 1
• the following module ports when the module is installed in the 7705 SAR-M: GPON,
DSL, and the 2-port 10GigE (Ethernet) module
• all datapath Ethernet ports on all fixed 7705 SAR platforms

PIM SSM is supported on the following:
• all Ethernet adapter cards except for the 8-port Ethernet Adapter card, version 1

• the 4-port DS3/E3 Adapter card
• all datapath Ethernet ports on all fixed 7705 SAR platforms

IP Multicast
Basic IP Multicast Configuration

Perform the following basic multicast configuration tasks:
Note: Interfaces are created using the config>router>interface or

config>service>ies>interface command (IES only), and then enabled and
configured for IGMP, MLD, or PIM using the config>router>igmp>interface or
mld>interface or pim>interface command.
For IGMP:
• enable IGMP (required)

• configure IGMP interfaces (required)
• specify IGMP version on the interface (optional)
• configure static (S,G) (optional)
• configure SSM translation (optional)
For MLD:
• enable MLD (required)

• configure MLD interfaces (required)
• specify MLD version on the interface (optional)
• configure static (S,G) (optional)
• configure SSM translation (optional)
For PIM:
• enable PIM (required)

• add interfaces so the protocol establishes adjacencies with the neighboring routers
(required)
• enable unicast routing protocols to learn routes towards the source for reverse path
forwarding (required)
• add SSM ranges (optional)
• change hello interval (optional)
• configure route policies (bootstrap-export, bootstrap-import, and import join)
(optional)

The following examples show information displays for IGMP, MLD, and PIM, with each

Common Configuration Tasks

The following sections show the CLI syntax and examples for:
• Configuring IGMP and MLD Parameters

• Configuring PIM Parameters
Configuring IGMP and MLD Parameters

This section contains the following subsections:
• Enabling IGMP or MLD

• Configuring IGMP and MLD
• Configuring IGMP and MLD Interfaces
• Configuring IGMP and MLD Interface Static Multicast
• Configuring IGMP and MLD SSM Translation
Enabling IGMP or MLD
Use the following CLI syntax to enable IGMP or MLD.
CLI Syntax: config>router# igmp
CLI Syntax: config>router# mld
The following displays an enabled IGMP example. An MLD display would look similar.
*A:7705custDoc:Sar18>config>router# info detail

#------------------------------------------
*A:7705custDoc:Sar18>config>system#

Configuring IGMP and MLD
Use the following CLI syntax to configure IGMP and MLD:

query-interval seconds
query-last-member-interval seconds
query-response-interval seconds
robust-count robust-count
[no] shutdown

robust-count robust-count
[no] shutdown
The following displays an IGMP configuration example. An MLD example would look
similar.
Example: config>router# igmp

config>router>igmp# query-interval 150
config>router>igmp>if# query-last-member-interval 3
config>router>igmp>if# query-response-interval 15
config>router>igmp>if# robust count 3
config>router>igmp>if# exit

----------------------------------------------
query-interval 150
robust-count 3
no shutdown
----------------------------------------------

IP Multicast
Configuring IGMP and MLD Interfaces
IGMP and MLD are supported on both access and network interfaces.
Note: MLD “query” parameters can be configured at both the MLD protocol and interface
levels. When configured at the protocol level, settings apply to all new interfaces added to
the context. Configuring the “query” parameters at the interface level overrides the protocol-
level configuration for the specified interface.
See Configuring IGMP and MLD for an example of query parameter configuration.
Use the following CLI syntax to configure an IGMP or MLD interface:

interface ip-int-name
[no] disable-router-alert-check
import policy-name
max-groups value
[no] subnet-check
version version
[no] shutdown

[no] disable-router-alert-check
import policy-name
max-groups value
[no] subnet-check
version version
[no] shutdown
The following example displays IGMP interface configuration command usage. An MLD
interface example would look similar.
Example: config>router#
config>router>igmp# interface "igmp_interface"
config>router>igmp>if# max-groups 3
config>router>igmp>if# import igmp_policy1

The following example displays the IGMP interface configuration:
*A:7705custDoc:Sar18>config>router>igmp>interface# info detail

----------------------------------------------
import igmp_policy1
version 3
subnet-check
max-groups 3
no shutdown
exit
----------------------------------------------
Configuring IGMP and MLD Interface Static Multicast
Use the following syntax to configure an IGMP or MLD static multicast group and source for
a multicast interface:

static
group grp-ip-address
source ip-address

static
group grp-ipv6-address
source ipv6-address
The following example displays an IGMP interface configuration for static multicast. An
MLD interface example would look similar except that it would use IPv6 group and source
addresses.
Example: config>router>igmp# interface igmp_interface

config>router>igmp>if# static
config>router>igmp>if>static# group 229.255.0.2
config>router>igmp>if>static>group# source
172.22.184.197
172.22.184.198
config>router>igmp>if>static# group 229.255.0.3
config>router>igmp>if>static>group# exit

IP Multicast
172.22.184.197
172.22.184.198
config>router>igmp>if>static>group# exit
config>router>igmp>if>static# exit
The following example displays the configuration for IGMP. An MLD example would look
similar except that it would use IPv6 group and source addresses.
A:7705custDoc:Sar18>config>router>igmp# info
----------------------------------------------
static
group 229.255.0.2
source 172.22.184.197
source 172.22.184.198
exit
group 229.255.0.3
source 172.22.184.197
source 172.22.184.198
exit
exit
exit
----------------------------------------------
A:7705custDoc:Sar18>config>router>igmp#
Configuring IGMP and MLD SSM Translation
SSM translation can be configured for IGMP and MLD at the protocol and the interface
levels. When configured at the protocol level, settings apply to all new interfaces added to the
context. Configuring SSM translation at the interface level overrides the protocol-level
configuration for the specified interface.
To configure IGMP and MLD SSM translation parameters:

ssm-translate
grp-range start end
source ip-address

ssm-translate
grp-range start end
source ip-address


ssm-translate
grp-range start end
source ipv6-address

ssm-translate
grp-range start end
source ipv6-address
The following example displays the command usage to configure IGMP SSM translation.
Examples for the MLD protocol, as well as for IGMP and MLD interfaces, would look
similar. MLD would use IPv6 group and source addresses.

config>router>igmp# ssm-translate
config>router>igmp>ssm# grp-range 229.255.0.1 231.2.2.2
config>router>igmp>ssm>grp-range# source 10.10.10.100
The following example displays the SSM translation configuration at the IGMP level:
A:7705custDoc:Sar18>config>router>igmp# info
----------------------------------------------
ssm-translate
grp-range 229.255.0.1 231.2.2.2
source 10.10.10.100
exit
----------------------------------------------
A:7705custDoc:Sar18>config>router>igmp# exit.

IP Multicast
Configuring PIM Parameters

This section contains the following subsections:
• Enabling PIM
• Configuring PIM Interface Parameters
• Importing PIM Join Policies
Enabling PIM
When configuring PIM, make sure to enable PIM on all interfaces for the routing instance;
otherwise, multicast routing errors can occur.
Use the following CLI syntax to enable PIM.
CLI Syntax: config>router# pim
The following example displays the detailed output when PIM is enabled without a PIM
interface configured. See Configuring PIM Interface Parameters for the additional
configuration settings when a PIM interface is configured.
Without a PIM interface enabled

----------------------------------------------
rpf-table rtable-u
apply-to none

----------------------------------------------

IP Multicast
Configuring PIM Interface Parameters
To create a PIM interface, first create an IP interface using the config>router>

interface or the config>service>ies>interface command (IES only). Then
use the config>router>pim>interface command to configure PIM interface
parameters.
The following example displays the command usage to configure PIM interface parameters:
Example: config>router# pim

config>router>pim# interface "pim_interface"
config>router>pim>if# assert-period assert-period
config>router>pim>if# [no] bfd-enable [ipv4 | ipv6]
config>router>pim>if# hello-interval hello-interval
config>router>pim>if# hello-multiplier deci-units
config>router>pim>if# instant-prune-echo
config>router>pim>if# [no] ipv4-multicast-disable
config>router>pim>if# [no] ipv6-multicast-disable
config>router>pim>if# max-groups value
config>router>pim>if# priority dr-priority
config>router>pim>if# [no] shutdown
config>router>pim>if# sticky-dr [priority dr-priority]
config>router>pim>if# [no] three-way-hello
config>router>pim>if# [no] tracking-support
config>router>pim>if# exit
The following example displays the detailed PIM interface configuration:

----------------------------------------------
...
hello-interval 30
hello-multiplier 35
no tracking-support
no bfd-enable
no bfd-enable ipv6
no three-way-hello
priority 1
no sticky-dr
no max-groups
no assert-period
no shutdown
exit
...
----------------------------------------------

Importing PIM Join Policies
The import command provides a mechanism to control the (S,G) state that gets created on
a router. Import policies are defined in the config>router>policy-options context.
Note: In the import policy, if a policy action is not specified in the entry, then the
default-action takes precedence. Similarly, if there are no entry matches, then the
default-action takes precedence. If no default-action is specified, then the default
default-action is executed.
Use the following commands to import PIM join policies:
CLI Syntax: config>router# pim

import join-policy [policy-name [.. policy-name]]
The following example displays the commands used to apply a policy statement named
“pim_join”. To define a join policy and to see details of the “pim_join” policy statement, see
the “Configuring PIM Join Policies” section in the 7705 SAR OS Router Configuration
Guide”:
Example: config>router# pim

config>router>pim# import join-policy "pim_join"
config>router>pim# no shutdown
The following example displays the PIM configuration:
A:7705custDoc:Sar18>config>router>pim# info
----------------------------------------------
...
import join-policy "pim_join"
exit
...
----------------------------------------------
A:7705custDoc:Sar18>config>router>pim#
