High-Availability Requirements for Multicast

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. For more information about high availability, see the Cisco Nexus 7000
Series NX-OS High Availability and Redundancy Guide.
