Configuring Administrative Scoping
With administrative scoping disabled, a PIM-SM domain has only one BSR. The BSR manages the whole
network. To manage your network more effectively and specifically, you can partition the PIM-SM
domain into multiple admin-scope zones. Each admin-scope zone maintains a BSR, which serves a
specific multicast group range; while the global scope zone also maintains a BSR, which serves all the
rest multicast groups.
Enabling administrative scoping
Before configuring an admin-scope zone, you must enable administrative scoping first.
Perform the following configuration on routers that can become a C-BSR and ZBR.
Follow these steps to enable administrative scoping:

Enter system view system-view —
Enter public network PIM view pim —

Required
Disabled by default
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:

boundary
multicast boundary
group-address { mask |
mask-length }
Required
By default, no multicast forwarding
boundary is configured.
NOTE:
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
more information about the multicast boundary command, see Multicast Routing and Forwarding
Commands in the IP Multicast Volume.
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.
