Configuring Transactional Multicast for IGMP

By using ANCP, IGMP is no longer terminated or proxied at the access node. Instead, IGMP passes through the access node transparently. B-RAS terminates both the data PVC and IGMP. After any user permission verification, B-RAS may instruct the access node (using GSMP) to establish a multicast branch for the subscriber port.

ANCP works with a special IGMP session to collect OIF mapping events in a scalable manner. For additional information about configuring IGMP and about OIF mapping, see JUNOSe Multicast Routing Configuration Guide, Chapter 6, Configuring IGMP.

Creating an IGMP Session for ANCP

Use the l2c ip oif command to create an IGMP session for ANCP. This session enables ANCP to listen to OIF mappings and, in turn, convey cross connect events to the appropriate ANCP neighbor (access node).

l2c ip oif

• Use to create an IGMP session at the virtual router within the context.
• Example

host1(config)#l2c ip oif

• Use the no version to remove the IGMP session.

ANCP IGMP Configuration Example

In the following example (Figure 18), two subscribers access individual multicast channels through cross connections (branches) that occur on the access node.

Figure 18: Using ANCP with an Access Node

To configure the example, use the following general procedures:

NOTE: This example provides general information for configuring ANCP mapping. For detailed information about creating OIF maps, see Configuring Transactional Multicast for IGMP.

1. Configure an OIF map for the access node that maps each multicast group to an outgoing interface.
2. Define ANCP parameters.
3. Enable ANCP to listen to OIF mapping events from IGMP in this virtual router.
4. Create a listening TCP socket in the virtual router (TCP port 6068).
5. Define ANCP neighbor parameters.
   

   NOTE: The ID is a 48 bit quantity that identifies the ANCP neighbor.

   
   
6. Configure the ANCP multicast labels (input labels) on the corresponding outgoing interfaces.
7. Configure the ANCP output labels, the neighbor information on the subscriber interfaces, and apply the OIF map.

When Subscriber A requests to join 232.1.1.1, ANCP transmits an add branch message with the corresponding input and output labels that cross-connect
port 3 and port 6 on Access Node 1.

Complete Configuration Example

The following example contains the commands used to configure ANCP. You can customize and use this example in your own network.

You can copy the text into a text editor and modify it (removing all prompts and changing values) for immediate use or save the modified example as a script (.scr) file. Script files allow you to execute commands as though they were entered at the terminal. For information about creating and executing script files, see JUNOSe System Basics Configuration Guide, Chapter 2, Command-Line Interface.
