C9200L L3 & multicast capabilities

[Alex Tsonis]

Hello,

I want to purchase four C9200L-24T-4G-A switches for a new implementation concerning multicast streams.

The switches must support floating static route, multicast routing (igmp, pim, mvr) and IP SLA in order to monitor the uplinks.

Have you worked with the specific switches? Do they support the features above?

Thank you!

Hi,

Yes, the 9200 supports static and Multicast routing:

IP unicast routing protocols (including static, Routing Information Protocol Version 1 [RIPv1], RIPv2, RIPng, and Open Shortest Path First [OSPF], Routed Access) are supported for small network routing applications with the Network Essentials stack. Equal-cost routing facilitates Layer 3 load balancing and redundancy across the stack.

●    Advanced IP unicast routing protocols (including Full [OSPF], Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol [EIGRP], and Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System Version 4 [IS-ISv4]) are supported for load balancing and for constructing scalable LANs. Ipv6 routing (using OSPFv3 and EIGRPv6) is supported in hardware for maximum performance.

●    Protocol-Independent Multicast (PIM) for IP multicast routing is supported, including PIM sparse mode (PIM SM), and Source-Specific Multicast (SSM).
