IPv4 PIM Over Secondary Addresses

Overview

Extreme devices support PIM over secondary addresses in an IPv4 environment by using an IPv4 address with a secondary keyword.

When a secondary address is configured on a interface, all secondary addresses on the interface are sent out on the PIM Hello using the secondary address option.

When a receiver uses a secondary address as its source and sends a IGMP group report, the PIM Join and Prune messages are propagated up the network.

When a secondary address is configured as a Rendezvous Point (RP), the packets are processed appropriately.

Displaying the Secondary Address

In this example, the PIM neighbor on VE10 has multiple IP addresses configured on the interface.
