Configuring Multicast Scoping

To configure multicast address scoping, include the following statements:

multicast {
scope scope-name {
interface [ interface-names ];
prefix destination-prefix;
}
scoping-policy policy-name;
}

For a list of hierarchy levels at which you can configure these statements, see the statement summary sections for these statements.

Specify a name for the scope, its address range, and the router interfaces on which you are configuring scoping.

You can apply a multicast scoping policy to the routing table. To apply a scoping policy, include the scoping-policy statement at the [edit routing-options multicast] hierarchy level. For more information on configuring a scoping policy, see the JUNOS Policy Framework Configuration Guide.

Example: Configuring Multicast Scoping

Configure multicast scoping by creating four scopes: local, organization, engineering, and marketing.

Configure the local scope on a Fast Ethernet interface. Configure the organization scope on a Fast Ethernet and a SONET/SDH interface. Configure the engineering and marketing scopes on two SONET/SDH interfaces.
