PIM-SM and PIM6-SM Snooping over MCT
- PIM-SM snooping can be configured only on a VLAN. It requires IGMP snooping to be running in passive mode. IPv6 snooping is supported.
- PIM6-SM snooping can be configured only on a VLAN. It requires MLD snooping to be running in passive mode.
- Router ports can be configured on a VLAN or globally. They can be learned dynamically on the port where the query is received or configured statically.
- Both MCT devices must run PIM-SM snooping.
- PIM messages are forwarded by way of the hardware.
- A PIM join or prune is synced to the peer cluster device using CCP.
- A PIM prune is processed only if indicated by the peer cluster device.
- A PIM join or prune received natively on an ICL is ignored.
- A PIM hello is not synced but is received natively on the ICL.
- PIM port or source information is refreshed on both cluster devices by syncing PIM messages. The information ages out if not refreshed.
