Configuring an admin-scope zone boundary

The boundary of each admin-scope zone is formed by ZBRs. Each admin-scope zone maintains

a BSR, which serves a specific multicast group range. Multicast protocol packets (such as

assert messages and bootstrap messages) that belong to this range cannot cross the

admin-scope zone boundary.

Perform the following configuration on routers that can become a ZBR.

Follow these steps to configure an admin-scope zone boundary:

multicast boundary

group-address { mask |

mask-length }

Required

By default, no multicast

forwarding boundary is

configured.

The group-address { mask | mask-length } parameter of the multicast boundary command can

be used to specify the multicast groups an admin-scope zone serves, in the range of

239.0.0.0/8. For details about the multicast boundary command, see Multicast Routing and

Forwarding Configuration Commands in the IP Multicast Command Reference.

Configuring C-BSRs for each admin-scope zone and the global-scope zone

In a network with administrative scoping enabled, group-range-specific BSRs are elected from

C-BSRs. C-RPs in the network send advertisement messages to the specific BSR. The BSR

summarizes the advertisement messages to form an RP-set and advertises it to all routers in

the specific admin-scope zone. All the routers use the same Hash algorithm to get the RP

address corresponding to the specific multicast group.

Configure C-BSRs for each admin-scope zone and the global-scope zone.
