Can I limit multicast routes in PIM?

[waimen]

Hi All,

Can I set the routers will NOT install more than 100 multicast routes in PIM? I had found the doc but I just can find the command that can limit routes in dvmrp. Does any body have idea? Thank You!

Configure the following command in the global config mode in the route which advertise the multicast routes to other routers. This will actually limit the no of multicast routes advertised via an interface.

ip dvmrp route-limit count

for your requirement count should be of 100

ip dvmrp route-limit 100

ip multicast route-limit 100 (global command).

Hi,

Thank You for your reply. But I can not find this command in IOS 12.0 and I even can not find this command in the cisco doc CD of IOS 12.2. Which IOS are you using?

It certainly exists in 12.2.16 and 12.2.15T

Hi...

According to a message from our Cisco CSE dated July of 2000 in response to a bug we reported :

The Bug Navigator on CCO shows this to be fixed in the following versions...

12.1(1.4), 12.0(10.3)S, 12.1(1.4)T, 12.0(10.3)SC

We are mainly running IOS 12.1E, with some smatterings of 12.0S and 12.2S.
