Overview :With PIM Bidirectional, all packets move on the shared tree so RP redundancy is even more important than with PIM Sparse-Mode where RP failover has only an impact on newly active streams...Despite PIM SM, there is no point with PIM Bidir to...
Overview : Anycast RP is a mechanism to provide fast RP failover (primary goal) and RP load-sharing. Idea is to get (at least) 2 routers playing the role of RP simultaneously...Principles :To achieve fast failover, we should use the same IP address o...
* Problem : MPLS Traffic Engineering tunnels are unidirectional tunnels used to transport unicast packets only. Multicast packets do NOT flow through the TE tunnels but through underlying physical connections. This creates a problem for RPF checks si...
@Teddy Adonia Right, Auto-RP is very slow to 'converge', i.e. when current RP fails, it takes very long before new candidate RP is advertised.We use Auto-RP to advertise the address used by phantom RP (so no need to configure static RP on all routers...
Same approach can be used to monitor used & free memory of the different CPU.
Step 1 : The snmpwalk of OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.47.1.1.1.1.7 gives us the mapping
between index and line cards CPU :
SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.47.1.1.1.1.7.16203662 = STRING: "module ...
auto-rp listener is indeed needed if interfaces are configured with sparse-mode only.If configured with sparse-dense, there is no need for auto-rp listener.
