Mulitcast

Hello Everyone,

 

I have just enabled multicast on my routers for our voice paging system and everything seems to work fine.  However, I'm afraid I maybe missing some commands I could use to prevent multicast traffic from being generated to other interfaces that are not needed.  I was looking at this command "ip pim passive"

 

Do you think I should enable this command in all the interfaces that are not required to have multicast traffic ?

 

Thanks to all in advanced!

 

Here is my router config:

This command will stop the router from sending or accepting pim messages on
that interface making the router as pim DR. However, routers don't flood
multicast traffic out of all interfaces as switches. It floods multicast
based on pim trees and groups. therefore you shouldn't be concerned about
the router flooding multicast of all interfaces if you don't have pim
neighbors.

On the other hand, at the LAN you need to use IGMP snooping to prevent
flooding multicast of all interfaces within a vlan because switches do
flood by default.
