All designated routers must have NetCloud OS version 7.21.40 or later installed.

Configure the Source Network Router
  1. Log into NetCloud Manager.

  2. Select Devices, and then select the source network router.

  3. Select Configuration > Edit.

  4. Configure the route (this example uses OSPF; the source network router is the first in the route):

    1. Navigate to NETWORKING > Routing > OSPF.

    2. Select Add.

    3. Enter a Router ID and then select Next.

    4. Select Add.

      The Edit or Add Interface dialog displays.

    5. From the Device drop-down menu, select Ethernet.

    6. From the Network Type drop-down menu, select Point-to-Point.

      The Areas screen displays.

    9. Select Next.

      The Networks screen displays.

    10. Select Add.

    11. In the Area field, enter an IP address.

    12. In the IP Network field, enter an IPv4 address (CIDR).

    13. Select Save.

    14. Select Next.

      The Neighbors screen displays.

    15. Select Next.

    16. Leave the Redistribute Options and Redistribute Routes blank, and then select Finish.

  5. Set the PIM Configuration for the source network router:

    1. Navigate to NETWORKING > Routing > PIM.

    2. Select Add.

    3. Verify that the Enable box is checked and then select Next.

      The Interfaces screen displays.

    4. Select Add. (You will be adding two interfaces.)

    5. From the Device drop-down menu, select Primary LAN.

    6. Select SM Enabled to enable it.

    7. Select Save,

    8. Select Add.

    9. From the Device drop-down menu, select Ethernet (wan profile).

    10. Enter a Source IP that matches the Router ID that you set on the OSPF screen.

    11. Select SM Enabled to enable it.

    12. Select Save.

    13. Select Next.

      The Rendezvous Point screen displays.

    14. On the Rendezvous Point screen, select Add.

    15. In the Rendezvous Point IP field, enter an address (it should be the next hop).

    16. In the Multicast Group, enter a valid IPv4 address in CIDR.

    17. Select Finish.

This completes the configuration for the source network router.

Configure the RP Router
  • Complete the same steps above. Modify the Router ID and IPv4 addresses as required.

  • The Router ID on the RP Router must be the next hop after the source network router, which should also be the IPv4 address for the RP.

Configure the Receive Network Router
  • Complete the same steps above. Modify the Router ID and IPv4 addresses as required.

  • The Router ID on the Receive Network Router must be the next hop after the RP, and you must set the Primary LAN interface to have IGMP enabled. Set the RP as the Router ID from the RP router.
