specific multicast group range. The global-scoped zone also maintains a BSR to provide services for all

the remaining multicast groups.

Enabling administrative scoping

Before you configure an admin-scoped zone, you must enable administrative scoping first.
Perform the following configuration on routers that you want to configure as a C-BSR and ZBR.
To enable administrative scoping:

Step Command

Remarks

1.

Enter system view.

system-view

N/A

2.

Enter public network PIM view
or VPN instance PIM view.

pim [ vpn-instance
vpn-instance-name ]

N/A

3.

Enable administrative
scoping.

c-bsr admin-scope

Disabled by default.

Configuring an admin-scoped zone boundary

The boundary of each admin-scoped zone is formed by ZBRs. Each admin-scoped zone maintains a BSR

to provide services for a specific multicast group range. Multicast protocol packets (such as assert
messages and bootstrap messages) that belong to this range cannot cross the admin-scoped zone

boundary.
Perform the following configuration on routers that you want to configure as a ZBR.
To configure an admin-scoped zone boundary:

Step Command

Remarks

1.

Enter system view.

N/A

2.

Enter interface view.

interface interface-type

N/A

3.

Configure a multicast
forwarding boundary.

multicast boundary group-address
{ mask | mask-length }

By default, no multicast forwarding
boundary is configured.
The group-address { mask |
mask-length
} argument of the

multicast boundary command can

be used to specify the multicast
groups to which an admin-scoped

zone is designated, in the range of

239.0.0.0/8.

Configuring C-BSRs for each admin-scoped zone and the global-scoped 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 a specific BSR. The BSR summarizes the

advertisement messages to form an RP-set and advertises it to all routers in a specific admin-scoped zone.

All the routers use the same hash algorithm to get the RP address corresponding to a specific multicast

group.
You can configure the hash mask length and C-BSR priority globally, in an admin-scoped zone, and in

the global-scoped zone.
