Configuring a Multicast Network

You configure a router network to support multicast applications with a related family of protocols. To use multicast, you must understand the basic components of a multicast network and their relationships, and then configure the J-series Services Router to act as a node in the network.

The J-series Services Router supports both Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) version 1 and PIM version 2. In this chapter, the term PIM refers to both versions of the protocol.

You use either the J-Web configuration editor or CLI configuration editor to configure multicast protocols. The J-Web interface does not include Quick Configuration pages for multicast protocols.

This chapter contains the following topics. For more information about multicast, see the JUNOS Multicast Protocols Configuration Guide.
