Layer 2 Addressing Ranges

224.0.0.0/24 Local network control
224.0.1.0/24 Internetwork control
232.0.0.0/8 Source-specific
233.0.0.0/8 GLOP (RFC 3180)
239.0.0.0/8 Admin-scoped
Bits 1-24 Multicast OUI of 01-00-5E
Common Groups
Bit 25 Always set to zero
224.0.0.1 All hosts
Bits 26-48 Carried over from lower 23 bits of IP address
224.0.0.2 All routers
Terminology 224.0.1.39 Cisco RP Announce
Reverse Path Forwarding (RPF) · Verifies that multicast traffic travels in the 224.0.1.40 Cisco RP Discovery
reverse direction of unicast traffic, away from the tree root
Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) · End hosts issue IGMP
Distribution Trees
requests to local routers to join multicast groups Shared · A common, static set of links
which carry all multicast traffic;
Cisco Group Management Protocol (CGMP) · A proprietary protocol used by
administratively constructed
switches to obtain multicast membership information for end hosts
Source-Rooted · Provide the shortest
IGMP Configuration paths from the source to receivers
IGMP Support Router(config-if)# ip igmp [version {1|2|3}]
IGMP
IGMP Snooping Switch(config)# ip igmp snooping
IGMPv1 · End hosts send requests to
Protocol Independent Multicast local routers to receive multicast traffic
for a particular group
Dense Mode · The initial tree encompasses all multicast routers; after a period
of time, routers without IGMP members prune back branches IGMPv2 · Adds support for dynamic
leave requests and querier election
Sparse Mode · The tree is grown from a central rendevous point out to the
multicast source and recipients IGMPv3 · Adds multicast source filtering
capability
Sparse-Dense Mode · Allows a PIM-enabled interface to function in either
sparse or dense mode per group IGMP Snooping · A switch passively
inspects IGMP requests to determine
PIMv1 · Provides automatic RP discovery with Auto-RP (Cisco proprietary) which hosts should receive layer two
PIMv2 · Automatic RP discovery is accomplished by the bootstrap router multicast traffic
method (standards based)
