Operation Manual – Product OverviewH3C S9500 Series Routing Switches Chapter 3 Features3-7Features(operationmanual)DescriptionPIMPIM is widely used multicast routing protocols. It discoversmulticast source and delivers information to the receivers.The volume describes:z Introduction to PIM-DM and PIM-SMz PIM-DM configurationz PIM-SM configurationMulticast VLANWhen users in different VLANs request the service, multicastflow is duplicated in each VLAN and thus a great deal ofbandwidth is wasted. To solve this problem, you can addswitch ports to a multicast VLAN and enable IGMP Snoopingto allow users in different VLANs to share the same multicastVLAN. The volume describes:z Multicast VLAN overviewz Multicast VLAN configurationz Multicast VLAN plus configurationMSDPMulticast source discovery protocol (MSDP) describesinterconnection mechanism of multiple PIM-SM domains. It isused is to discover multicast source information in otherPIM-SM domains. The volume describes:z MSDP overviewz MSDP configurationMBGPMBGP enables unicast and multicast routing information tobe exchanged through the same process but stored indifferent routing tables. The volume describes:z MBGP extension overviewz MBGP extension configuration3.5 MPLS VPN VolumeTable 3-5 Features in the MPLS VPN volumeFeatures(operationmanual)DescriptionMPLSMPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) brings together theadvantages of the connectionless control with IP and theconnection-oriented forwarding with ATM. In addition to thesupport from IP routing and control protocols, its powerfuland flexible routing functions allows it to accommodate tovarious emerging applications.
