Configure and verify PIM dense mode multicast on a simple backbone, enabling interfaces for dense mode, and observe prune behavior when no receivers exist.
Configure sparse mode on selected interfaces and statically define a rendezvous point to route multicast efficiently. Verify reachability with rp mapping and troubleshoot by tracing unicast paths to steer traffic.
Dynamically advertise the RP across a large network using Cisco proprietary RP advertisement and RP discovery, coordinating with mapping agents for scalable, accurate RP mappings in multicast.
Configure multiple rendezvous points by creating an access list named access, defining group mappings, and applying PIM RP mapping to advertise multicast groups.
Configure source-specific multicast on Cisco devices by enabling PIM sparse mode, creating source and receiver access lists, and joining the specified source with IGMP version 3 to control multicast flow.
Configure msdp between two rp anchors sharing an ip, advertise rp and mapping agents, and verify msdp peers and cache state across routers.
This mini course is all about Multicast and all the necessary commands to configure this feature in your network!
I have explained all commands in detail so that you can easily get a grab on that feaure. If you cannot find a feature, this means either it is obsolete and a better feature replaces that or I have forgotten to include it. In the latter case, I will be more than happy if you let me know what you want and I will add it to the curriculum.
I have used GNS3 for the simulation. However, you can execute all commands on a real gear without any change.
