• Source-specific multicast (SSM) • Bidirectional shared trees (Bidir) Cisco NX-OS supports a combination of these modes for different ranges of multicast groups. You can also define RPF routes for multicast. Any Source Multicast (ASM) is a PIM tree building mode that uses shared trees to discover new sources and receivers as well as source trees to form shortest paths from receivers to sources.

Beginning with Cisco NX-OS Release 5.1, you can add an F Series module, which is a Layer 2-only module, into the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series chassis. When you add this module to a chassis that already contains M Series modules, you can provision multicasting.

After a multicast routing protocol is restarted, its state is recovered from the MRIB process. When a supervisor switchover occurs, the MRIB recovers its state from the hardware, and the multicast protocols recover their state from periodic message activity.

Page 67: Configuring Pim And Pim6
For more information about multicast, see Information About Multicast. Cisco NX-OS supports PIM sparse mode for IPv4 networks (PIM) and for IPv6 networks (PIM6). In PIM sparse mode, multicast traffic is sent only to locations of the network that specifically request it. You can configure PIM and PIM6 to run simultaneously on a router.
Page 68: Hello Messages
Cisco NX-OS does not support PIM dense mode. In Cisco NX-OS, multicast is enabled only after you enable the PIM or PIM6 feature on each router and then enable PIM or PIM6 sparse mode on each interface that you want to participate in multicast. You can configure PIM for an IPv4 network and PIM6 for an IPv6 network.
Page 69: Join-Prune Messages
A rendezvous point (RP) is a router that you select in a multicast network domain that acts as a shared root for a multicast shared tree.

For information about configuring BSRs and candidate RPs, see Configuring BSRs. Auto-RP Auto-RP is a Cisco protocol that was prior to the Internet standard bootstrap router mechanism. You configure Auto-RP by selecting candidate mapping agents and RPs. Candidate RPs send their supported group range in RP-Announce messages to the Cisco RP-Announce multicast group 224.0.1.39.

Note Bidir mode is not supported for vPCs. For more information about vPCs, see the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series NX-OS Interfaces Configuration Guide. Configuring Static RPs You can configure an RP statically by configuring the RP address on every router that participates in the PIM domain.

Page 203: Configuring Multicast Interoperation With N7K-F132-15 Modules
Beginning with Cisco NX-OS Release 5.1, you can add an N7K-F132-15 module, which is a Layer 2-only module, into the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series chassis. You can add this module to a chassis that already contains M-Series modules to provide multicasting in a chassis that contains both N7K-F132-15 and M-Series modules.
