Configuring Multicast Scoping

To configure multicast address scoping, include the following statements:

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

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

Specify a name for the scope, its address range, and the routing device 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 scope-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.

[edit]routing-options {multicast {scope local {prefix 239.255.0.0/16;fe-0/1/0.0;}scope organization {prefix 239.192.0.0/14;interface [ fe-0/1/0.0 so-0/0/0.0 ];}scope engineering {prefix 239.255.255.0/24;interface [ so-0/0/1.0 so-0/0/2.0 ];}scope marketing {prefix 239.255.254.0/24;interface [ so-0/0/1.0 so-0/0/2.0 ];}}}
