SPBM MULTICAST BETWEEN TWO FABRIC

SPBM MULTICAST BETWEEN TWO FABRIC

Hi Team,

I want to configure multicast between two fabric linked by legacy trunk of VLANs, they are two different fabrics not a multiarea fabric.

It´s multicast at L2, igmp snooping , the senders and receivers will be in both fabric distributed aleatory.

Is this topology supported? Any tips to configure it?

For ip igmp snooping inside a single fabric I configure:

At global level:

router isis
spbm 1 multicast enable

At VLAN level:

interface vlan XX
ip igmp proxy
ip igmp snooping

But I dont know how to inyect multicast traffic between them.

Regards

Hi EF,

A quick and simple way is to statically forward all MCAST's from Fabric 1 to Fabric 2 and from Fabric 2 to Fabric 1, to that you configure static-group membership in the vlan interface towards port(s).
You can specify group address per group address to be forwarded or group address ranges to one or more ports.
Disadvantage is that existing streams are always forwarded over the link.

interface Vlan 1000
ip igmp static-group 239.0.0.1 239.0.0.1 1/9,1/11 static
ip igmp static-group 239.0.0.5 239.0.0.8 1/11 static
exit

Thanks WillyHe,

but one question, and sorry in advance for my lack of knowledge. I understand PIM is used for multicast in L3 topologies and in this solution all members (senders and recivers) are in the same VLAN, or SPBM-PIM Gateway can acts in L2 topology?

Hi,

yes it works with statics groups, I was using the command incorrectly, GTAC give the solution, for example for 5 groups:

 

int vlan 200
ip igmp static-group 234.5.6.10 234.5.6.10 1/27 static
ip igmp static-group 234.5.6.11 234.5.6.11 1/27 static
ip igmp static-group 234.5.6.12 234.5.6.12 1/27 static
ip igmp static-group 234.5.6.13 234.5.6.13 1/27 static
ip igmp static-group 234.5.6.14 234.5.6.14 1/27 static
exit
