5 Configuring Multicast
Address Boundaries
Multicast boundaries confine scoped multicast addresses to a particular domain. Confining scoped
addresses helps to ensure that multicast traffic passed within a multicast domain does not conflict with
multicast users outside the domain.
In This Chapter
This chapter describes the basic components of scoped multicast boundaries and how to configure them
through the Command Line Interface (CLI). CLI commands are used in the configuration examples; for
more details about the syntax of commands, see the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide.
Configuration procedures described in this chapter include:
• Configuring multicast address boundaries—see page 5-7.
• Verifying the multicast address boundary configuration—see page 5-8.
For information about additional multicast routing commands, see the “Multicast Routing Commands”
chapter in the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide.5
