Vyatta documentation

Learn how to install, configure, and operate the Vyatta Network Operating System (Vyatta NOS) and Orchestrator, which help drive our virtual networking and physical platforms portfolio.

Configure R2

The multicast network in the example extends from R1 through the 192.0.2.0/24 LAN segment to R2 and RP. In this example, you configure R2 for PIM sparse mode multicast operation.

Creating a PIM sparse mode configuration on R2 creates a PIM sparse mode multicast configuration on R2.

Table 1. Creating a PIM sparse mode configuration on R2

Step

Command

Configure PIM sparse mode on dp0p1p1.

vyatta@R2# set interfaces dataplane dp0p1p1 ip pim mode sparse

Commit the configuration.

vyatta@R2# commit

View the configuration.

vyatta@R2# show interfaces dataplane dp0p1p1 ip
 pim {
 mode sparse
 }

Configure PIM sparse mode on dp0p1p2.

vyatta@R2# set interfaces dataplane dp0p1p2 ip pim mode sparse

Commit the configuration.

vyatta@R2# commit

View the configuration.

vyatta@R2# show interfaces dataplane dp0p1p2 ip
 pim {
 mode sparse
 }

Configure multicast routing.

vyatta@R2# set protocols multicast ip routing

Specify the location of the rendezvous point router.

vyatta@R2# set protocols pim rp-address 192.0.2.99

Commit the configuration.

vyatta@R2# commit

View the configuration.

vyatta@R2# show protocols
    multicast {
        ip {
            routing {
            }
        }
    }
    pim {
        rp-address 192.0.2.99 {
        }
    }
