DELL N3000 User Manual

Managing IPv4 and IPv6 Multicast

This section contains the following configuration examples:

• Configuring Multicast VLAN Routing With IGMP and PIM-SM
• Configuring DVMRP

This example describes how to configure a Dell Networking switch with two 

VLAN routing interfaces that route IP multicast traffic between the VLANs. 

PIM and IGMP are enabled on the switch and interfaces to manage the 

multicast routing. VLAN 10 is statically configured as the RP for the 

multicast group.

The configuration in this example takes place on L3 switch A shown in 

Figure 43-54. The red arrows indicate the path that multicast traffic takes. L3 

Switch A is configured as the RP for the PIM domain, so it is in charge of 

sending the multicast stream to L3 Switch B and L3 Switch C, and these 

switches forward the multicast data to the hosts that have requested to 

receive the data.

PIM does not require OSPF specifically; static routing or RIP could also 

be configured for unicast routing.
