Usage Guidelines

By default, the domain boundary is not set.

As the management core of the PIM-SM network, the BSR is responsible for sending collected Rendezvous Point (RP)-set information to PIM neighbors through Bootstrap messages.

You can divide a large PIM-SM network into multiple PIM-SM domains by configuring the bsr boundary on an interface. Each BSR then serves the local PIM-SM domain. The Bootstrap messages cannot traverse the BSR boundary but other multicast packets can.

You must run the multicast routing-enable command to enable the multicast function before using the command.

Example

# Configure a domain boundary on GigabitEthernet 0/0/1.

<sysname> system-view
[sysname] multicast routing-enable
[sysname] interface GigabitEthernet 0/0/1
[sysname-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] pim bsr-boundary
