3.

Disable the BSM semantic

fragmentation function.

undo bsm-fragment enable

By default, BSM semantic
fragmentation is enabled.

NOTE:

Generally, a BSR performs BSM semantic fragmentation according to the MTU of its BSR interface. For
BSMs originated due to learning of a new PIM neighbor, semantic fragmentation is performed according
to the MTU of the interface that sends the BSMs.

Configuring multicast source registration

In a PIM-SM domain, the source-side DR sends register messages to the RP, and these register messages

have different multicast source or group addresses. You can configure a filtering rule to filter register

messages so that the RP can provide services for specific multicast groups. If the filtering rule denies an
(S, G) entry, or if the filtering rule does not define the action for this entry, the RP sends a register-stop

message to the DR to stop the registration process for the multicast data.
In view of information integrity of a register message in the transmission process, you can configure the

device to calculate the checksum based on the entire register message. However, to reduce the workload
of encapsulating data in register messages and for the sake of interoperability, do not use this checksum

calculation method.

Configure a filtering rule for

register messages.

register-policy acl-number

By default, no register filtering rule
exists.

Configure the device to
calculate the checksum based

on the entire register

message.

register-whole-checksum

By default, the device calculates
the checksum based on the header

of a register message.

Configuring switchover to SPT

CAUTION:

If the device is an RP, disabling switchover to SPT might cause multicast traffic forwarding failures on the
source-side DR. When disabling switchover to SPT, be sure you fully understand its impact on your
network.

To configure the switchover to SPT:
