Hi,
I am new here so please forgive me if there are some dumb questions...
Basically I have 2 x 9300 switches that are running PIM-SM on them that are connected to each other over a port channel.
I have started my config below (excluding the physical interfaces connected between each other):
Switch 1 -
ip multicast-routing
!
interface Loopback0
ip address 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.255
ip pim sparse-mode
no shut
!
ip pim rp-address 1.1.1.1
Switch 2 -
ip multicast-routing
!
interface Loopback1
ip address 1.1.1.2 255.255.255.255
ip pim sparse-mode
no shut
!
ip pim rp-address 1.1.1.2
Question 1: If you have 2 switches on separate VLAN's say switch 1 has VLAN 20 and Switch 2 has VLAN 30 running multicast over them and both switches want to speak with each other only as required (they want to keep the multicast traffic local unless needing a remote stream "from switch 2"). Would there be a need for 2 RP addresses?
Question 2: what would happen if they lost communication with each other running one RP? I assume this is a stupid question as each VLAN needs its own RP?
Question 3: would you just be required to statically Mroute across the Multicast addressing out via the port-channel to switch 2 ect?
Question 4: would PIM-SM need to be put on the VLAN and the Port-channel group?
Question 5: would you need to setup access List's or would a Any Any be fine as I would like for them to speak to one another with no restrictions?
I have a few other questions but...
Any help would be greatly appreciated! or even a config of what the right way to do this is.... I can configure multiple IGMP queriers but that would mean all traffic is sent to the one switch all the time and will flood the Uplinks which I cannot have that happen..
