Configure a Static Foreign Source on the Global Router

Configure a static foreign source on the global router. Configuration is done at the Controller. Statically configure foreign sources, such as streams in a Source Specific Multicast (SSM) group range that are not advertised by the foreign network through MSDP. Non-SSM range group multicast address streams are advertised by MSDP and do not need to be statically configured.

Procedure

  1. Enter Global Configuration mode:

    enable

    configure terminal

  2. Configure a static foreign source:

    ip spb-pim-gw foreign-source {A.B.C.D} group {A.B.C.D}

Example

Switch:1>enable

Switch:1#configure terminal

Switch:1(config)#ip spb-pim-gw foreign-source 10.0.0.1 group 240.0.0.1
