Configuring a multicast data filter

No matter in a PIM-DM domain or a PIM-SM domain, routers can check passing-by multicast data based
on the configured filtering rules and determine whether to continue forwarding the multicast data. You

can configure PIM routers as multicast data filters to help implement traffic control and to control the

information available to receivers downstream for security.
To configure a multicast data filter:

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.

Configure a multicast group
filter.

source-policy acl-number

No multicast data filter by default.

NOTE:

Generally, a smaller distance from the filter to the multicast source results in a more remarkable filtering
effect.

This filter works not only on independent multicast data but also on multicast data encapsulated in
register messages.

Configuring a hello message filter

Along with the wide applications of PIM, the security requirement for the protocol is becoming

increasingly demanding. The establishment of correct PIM neighboring relationships is the prerequisite
for secure application of PIM. You can configure a legal source address range for hello messages on

interfaces of routers to ensure the correct PIM neighboring relationships, and thus to guard against PIM

message attacks.
