Release Information
Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 8.1.
Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 9.0 for EX Series switches.
Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 11.3 for the QFX Series.
Description
Enable multicast traffic on an interface.
By default, multicast packets are forwarded by enabling Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) on an interface. PIM adds multicast routes into the routing table.
You can also configure multicast packets to be forwarded over a static route, such as a static route associated with an LSP next hop. Multicast packets are accepted on an interface and forwarded over a static route in the forwarding table. This is useful when you want to enable multicast traffic on a specific interface without configuring PIM on the interface.
You cannot enable multicast traffic on an interface and configure PIM on the same interface simultaneously.
Static routes must be configured before you can enable multicast on an interface. Configuring the interface statement alone does not install any routes into the routing table. This feature relies on the static route configuration.
Options
interface-names—Name of one or more interfaces on which to enable multicast traffic.
The remaining statements are explained separately.
Required Privilege Level
routing—To view this statement in the configuration.
routing-control—To add this statement to the configuration.
