PIM-SM (Sparse Mode) Feature Overview and group members are sparsely distribut ed over a wide area can result in unnecessary multicast traffi c on routers outside the dist ribution paths needed for traffic between a given multicast s ource and the hosts belonging to the multicast group.
PIM-SM (Sparse Mode) Terminology software co vered in this guide.) Note that BSR o peration does n ot extend to statically configure d RPs. (For more on this topic, refer to “Static Rendezvous Point (Stat i c-RP)” on page 4-17.
PIM-SM (Sparse Mode) Terminology C-RP: See Candi date Rendezvous Point , above. Designated Router (DR): W ithin a given VLAN or netw ork, the router elected to forwa rd a multicast flow from its IP source (in the VLAN or network) to the appropriate ren dezvous point (either an RP or static-RP) in the PIM-SM do main.
PIM-SM (Sparse Mode) Terminology RP: See Rende zvous Point , above. RPT : See Rendezvous Point T ree . RP-Set: A complete list of multicast- group-to-RP mappings the BSR has learned and distri buted to the C-RPs in a given PIM-SM do main. The learned RP-set applies only to C-RPs, and not to static-RPs.
PIM-SM (Sparse Mode) PIM-SM Operation and Router Types PIM-SM Operation and Router T ypes Unlike PIM-DM, P IM-SM assumes that mo st hosts do not w ant to receive multicast traffic, and uses a non-floo.
PIM-SM (Sparse Mode) PIM-SM Operation and Router Types intermedia te PIM-SM rout ers leading to the PIM-SM edge router(s) for the multicast receiver(s) requesti ng the traf fic. (If the RP has no current join requests for the group, then the traffic is dropped at the RP .
PIM-SM (Sparse Mode) PIM-SM Operation and Router Types page 4-67.) When completed, the switch over from the RPT to a shorter SPT can reduce unnecessary traffic concen trations in the network and redu ce multicast traffic th roughput delays. Note that the switchover from RPT to SPT is not instantaneous.
PIM-SM (Sparse Mode) PIM-SM Operation and Router Types Border Routers and Multiple PIM-SM Domains Creating multiple d omains enables a balancing of PIM-SM traffic within a network. Defin ing PIM-SM domain boundaries requires the use of PIM border routers (PMBRs), and mult iple PMBRs can be used between any two domains.

IP Routing Features Configuring OSPF Stub Area This area connects to the AS backbone through one or more ABRs. It does not allow an internal ASBR, an d does not allow external (type 5) LSAs. A stub area supports these actions: ■ Advertise the area’ s summary ro utes to the backbone area.
IP Routing Features Configuring OSPF ■ injected into the backbone area an d then propagated to any other OSPF areas (except stub areas) within th e local OSPF Autonomous System (AS).
IP Routing Features Configuring OSPF Replacing T ype-3 Summary LSAs and T ype-7 Default External LSAs with a T ype-3 Default Route LSA By default, a routi ng switch operating as an ABR for a stub area or NSSA injects non-default, summary r outes (LSA type 3) into the stub areas and NSSAs.
IP Routing Features Configuring OSPF Equal Cost Multi-Path Routing The Equal C ost Multi-Path (ECMP) feature allows OSPF to add routes with multiple ne xt-hop addresses and with eq ual costs to a given destination in the Forwarding Information Base (FIB) on th e routin g switch.
IP Routing Features Configuring OSPF Also, according to the distributed algo rithm used in th e selection of ECMP next-hop ro utes: ■ Intra-area routes are pref erred to inter -area routes. ■ Inter -area routes are preferred to ex te rnal routes through a neighborin g autonomous system.
IP Routing Features Configuring OSPF However , the forwarding so ftware distributes traffi c across the three possible next-hop rou tes in such a way that all t raffic for a specif ic host is sent to the same next-hop ro uter . As shown in Figure 5- 24, one possibl e distributio n of traffic t o host devices is as follows: ■ T raffic to host 10.
IP Routing Features Configuring OSPF General Configuration Steps for OSPF T o b egin using OSPF on th e routing switch, perform the steps outlined belo w: 1. In the global co nfig context, use ip ro uting to enable routing (page 5-62). 2. Execute router ospf to place the routing switch in the ospf context and to enable OSPF routing (page 5-62).
IP Routing Features Configuring OSPF 12. Optional: Configure OS PF interface authentication. 13. Config ure virtual link s for an y areas not directly connected to the back- bone. Configuration Rules ■ If the switch is to operate as an ASBR, you must enab le redistribution (step 7 on page 5-59).

IP Routing Features Configuring OSPF Syntax: vlan < vid ># ip ospf [ ip-a ddr | all ] area < ospf-area-id > Executed in a specific VLAN c ontext to assign the VLAN or individual subnets in the VLAN to the specified area. Requires that the area is alre ady configur ed on the routing switch (page 5-65).
IP Routing Features Configuring OSPF The operator could use the follo win g commands to configure the above assignments: ProCurve(ospf)# vlan 10 ProCurve(vlan-10)# ip ospf 10.10.10.1 area 5 ProCurve(vlan-10)# ip ospf 10.10.11.1 area 5 ProCurve(vlan-10)# ip ospf 10.
IP Routing Features Configuring OSPF Syntax: interface loopb ack <0-7># ip ospf < lo-ip-address > cost < number > Executed in a specific loopback co ntext to modify the cost used to advertise the loopback address (and subnet) to the area border router (ABR).
IP Routing Features Configuring OSPF ProCurve(config)# interface loopback 1 ProCurve(lo-1)# ip address 14.2.3.4 ProCurve(lo-1)# ip address 15.2.3.4 ProCurve(lo-1)# exit ProCurve(config)# interface loopback 2 ProCurve(lo-2)# ip address 13.3.4.5 ProCurve(lo-2)# ip ospf 15.

Configure redistributi on filters to ex clude external routes that you do not want redistribut ed in your OSPF domain.
IP Routing Features Configuring OSPF Note Do not enable redistribution unt il you have configured the redi stribution “restrict” filters. O therwise, the networ k might get overloaded with routes that you did not int end to redist ribute.
IP Routing Features Configuring OSPF 4. Modifying the Redistributi on Metric T ype. The redistribution metric type is used by d efault for all r outes imported into OSPF . T ype 1 met rics are the same “units” as internal OSPF metr ics and can be compared directly .
IP Routing Features Configuring OSPF Syntax: area < ospf-area-id > range < ip-addr/m ask-length > [no-advertise] [ type < summary | nssa >] Use this command on a routing sw itch inte.
IP Routing Features Configuring OSPF nssa : Specifies external routes (type-7 LSAs) in the configured range of ro ute advertisements. If no-advertise (above) is used in the command, then the ABR prevents the selected external routes from being summarized i n a type-5 LSA and advertised to the backbone.
IP Routing Features Configuring OSPF ProCurve(config)# area 7 range 192.51.0.0/16 type nssa Defines the range of external routes in the Area 7 NSSA to advertise to the backbone. ProCurve(config)# area 7 range 192.51.0.0/16 no-advertise type nssa Defines the range of external routes in the Area 7 NSSA to block from advertising to the backbone.
IP Routing Features Configuring OSPF 10: Optional: Change OSPF T rap Generation Choices OSPF traps (defined by RFC 1850) are supported on the routing switches covered by this guide. OS PF trap generation is disa bled by default, but you can use the fo llowing comm and to enable generatio n of any or all of the supported OSPF traps.
IP Routing Features Configuring OSPF For example, if you want ed to monitor the neighbo r -state-change and inter - face-receive-bad-packet tr aps, you would use the following commands to configure the routing switch to enable the desired trap. The show command verifies the resulting OSPF trap configuration.
IP Routing Features Configuring OSPF Cost Per -Interface.
