Flow rules to support IP multicast

Flow rules to support IP multicast

IPv4 and IPv6 Multicast traffic cannot be load balanced by DP processors and instead is sent to the primary FPM. This is controlled by the following default flow rules:

config load-balance flow-rule

edit 15

set status enable

set vlan 0

set ether-type ipv4

set src-addr-ipv4 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0

set dst-addr-ipv4 224.0.0.0 240.0.0.0

set protocol any

set action forward

set forward-slot master

set priority 5

set comment "ipv4 multicast"

next

edit 16

set status enable

set vlan 0

set ether-type ipv6

set src-addr-ipv6 ::/0

set dst-addr-ipv6 ff00::/8

set protocol any

set action forward

set forward-slot master

set priority 5

set comment "ipv6 multicast"

end
