Configuring IP Multicast Routing
This example shows a sample configuration on an Auto-RP mapping agent that is used to prevent
candidate RP announcements from being accepted from unauthorized candidate RPs:
Switch(config)# ip pim rp-announce-filter rp-list 10 group-list 20
Switch(config)# access-list 10 permit host 172.16.5.1
Switch(config)# access-list 10 permit host 172.16.2.1
Switch(config)# access-list 20 deny 239.0.0.0 0.0.255.255
Switch(config)# access-list 20 permit 224.0.0.0 15.255.255.255
In this example, the mapping agent accepts candidate RP announcements from only two devices,
172.16.5.1 and 172.16.2.1. The mapping agent accepts candidate RP announcements from these two
devices only for multicast groups that fall in the group range of 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255. The
mapping agent does not accept candidate RP announcements from any other devices in the network.
Furthermore, the mapping agent does not accept candidate RP announcements from 172.16.5.1
or 172.16.2.1 if the announcements are for any groups in the 239.0.0.0 through 239.255.255.255 range.
This range is the administratively scoped address range.
Configuring PIMv2 BSR

Defining the PIM Domain Border
As IP multicast becomes more widespread, the chance of one PIMv2 domain bordering another PIMv2
domain is increasing. Because these two domains probably do not share the same set of RPs, BSR,
candidate RPs, and candidate BSRs, you need to constrain PIMv2 BSR messages from flowing into or
out of the domain. Allowing these messages to leak across the domain borders could adversely affect the
normal BSR election mechanism and elect a single BSR across all bordering domains and co-mingle
candidate RP advertisements, resulting in the election of RPs in the wrong domain.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to define the PIM domain border. This
procedure is optional.

Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
Specify the interface to be configured, and enter interface configuration
mode.
Enable the port, if necessary. By default, UNIs are disabled, and NNIs
are enabled.
Define a PIM bootstrap message boundary for the PIM domain.
Enter this command on each interface that connects to other bordering
PIM domains. This command instructs the switch to neither send or
receive PIMv2 BSR messages on this interface as shown in
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
