Multicast: Configuring tunnel:


Multicast: Configuring tunnel:

 

·         Tunnel configuring is required when we have to send multicast traffic through non-multicast enabled routers.

 

·         Let me take a small topology to configure this:

 

R3------R1--------R2-------R4

 

·         Multicast routing is enabled on R3 and R4

·         Multicast routing is not enabled on R1 and R2

·         R3 is the server and R4’s loopback is the client

·         Tunnel has to be created between R3 and R4 and enable spase-mode under tunnel interfaces.

 

R1#show run | i multicast

R1#

 

R2# show run | i multicast

R2#

 

R3#show run int tun1

Building configuration...

 

Current configuration : 123 bytes

!

interface Tunnel1

 ip unnumbered Loopback0

 ip pim sparse-mode

 tunnel source Loopback0

 tunnel destination 4.4.4.4

end

 

R3#show run int loop0

Building configuration...

 

Current configuration : 83 bytes

!

interface Loopback0

 ip address 3.3.3.3 255.255.255.255

 ip pim sparse-mode

end

 

R3#show run | i rp

ip pim rp-address 4.4.4.4

ip pim autorp listener

R3#

 

R4#show run int tun1

Building configuration...

 

Current configuration : 123 bytes

!

interface Tunnel1

 ip unnumbered Loopback0

 ip pim sparse-mode

 tunnel source Loopback0

 tunnel destination 3.3.3.3

end

 

R4#show run int loop0

Building configuration...

 

Current configuration : 116 bytes

!

interface Loopback0

 ip address 4.4.4.4 255.255.255.255

 ip pim sparse-mode

 ip igmp join-group 228.28.28.28

end

 

R4#show run | i rp

ip pim rp-address 4.4.4.4

ip pim autorp listener

R4#show run | i mroute

ip mroute 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Tunnel1

R4#

 

Observation:

·         R1 and R2 are not running multicast routing

·         Tunnel has been created between R3 and R4

·         R4 has mroute pointing towards tunnel interface, because R3 is the course and RPF will fail without this mroute.

 

·         Now, I’m initiating ping form the server, R3

 

R3#ping 228.28.28.28

 

Type escape sequence to abort.

Sending 1, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 228.28.28.28, timeout is 2 seconds:

 

Reply to request 0 from 4.4.4.4, 104 ms

R3#

Observation:

·         Multicast functionality is fine; R4 is receiving multicast traffic from R3.

 

·         Now, let me see multicast routing tables:

 

R3#show ip mroute
