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. In

other words, PIM routers can act as multicast data filters. These filters can help implement traffic control
on one hand, and control the information available to receivers downstream to enhance data security on

the other hand.
To configure a multicast data filter:

Step

Command

Remarks

1.

Enter system view.

system-view

N/A

2.

Enter public network PIM view.

pim

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.
