IP multicast boundaries

1

If this feature is disabled, configuration will be removed from multicast and if the native route
changes then the RPF for the multicast cache entries would change. Further, RPF lookup after
disabling this feature will not use LSP's underlying native path as RPF path. If RPF lookup results in
non-LSP multicast enabled path, RPF would resolve or else RPF resolution would fail.

Syntax: [no] rpf shortcut

Displaying the RPF routing path

This show command displays the RPF information, indicates that the route was learned through
which LSP path, if the RPF happens to be through LSP path.

Brocade(config)# show ip pim rpf source-address group-address

Brocade(config)# show ip pim rpf 130.50.11.10 226.10.10.1

Upstream LSP1 nbr 55.55.55.55 on e4/1

Displaying flag for RPFS for multicast cache entries

mcache show command output in MP is modified to show the flag RPFS if the resolution is through
LSP for the multicast cache entries using shortcut as the RPF and also, it displays a flag to indicate
that this entry is using RPF shortcut (LSP path).

Brocade(config)# show ip pim mcache

Multicast ECMP support

If there are multiple Equal Cost Paths between PIM routers to reach the source or the RP, multicast
RPF algorithm should distribute the load across available paths to take advantage of those paths.
