Adds a static multicast route to the multicast routing table.
| default | Specifies default gateway. |
| source-net | Specifies an IP address/mask length. |
| mask-len | Mask length for the IP multicast source's subnet. Range is [1-32]. |
| mask | Specifies a subnet mask. |
| protocol | Unicast routing protocol that is to be used for route learning. |
| rpf-address | Next hop through which the multicast source can be reached. |
| metric | Specifies a cost metric. |
| vr-name | Specifies the virtual router to which the route is added. |
The following defaults apply:
This command allows you to statically configure where multicast sources are located (even though the unicast routing table has different entries). It allows you to configure a multicast static route in such a way as to have non-congruent topology for Unicast and Multicast topology and traffic.
The following example configures a multicast static route for all multicast sources within network subnet 192.168.0.0/16. Those sources are reachable through the gateway 192.75.0.91.
configure ipmroute add 192.168.0.0/16 192.75.0.91
The following example configures multicast static route for all sources via a single gateway with a metric of 100:
configure ipmroute add 0.0.0.0/0 192.75.0.91 100
This command was first available in ExtremeXOS 11.6.
This command is available on platforms that support the appropriate license. For complete information about software licensing, including how to obtain and upgrade your license and which licenses support the IPv4 multicast feature, see the Switch Engine 32.2 Feature License Requirements document.
