undo multicast boundary { group-address { mask-length | mask } | all }

Default

No multicast forwarding boundaries are configured on an interface.

Predefined user roles

Parameters

group-address: Specifies a multicast group address in the range of 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255.

mask-length: Specifies an address mask length in the range of 4 to 32.

mask: Specifies an address mask.

all: Specifies all forwarding boundaries configured on the interface.

Usage guidelines

A multicast forwarding boundary sets the boundary condition for the multicast groups in the specified address range. If the destination address of a multicast packet matches the set boundary condition, the packet is not forwarded.

You can configure an interface as a multicast forwarding boundary for different multicast group ranges by executing this command multiple times on the interface.

You do not need to enable IP multicast routing before you execute this command.

Assume that Set A and Set B are multicast forwarding boundary sets with different address ranges, and B is a subset of A. A takes effect on the interface no matter whether A is configured earlier or later than B.

Examples

# Configure VLAN-interface 100 as the forwarding boundary of multicast groups in the range of 239.2.0.0/16.

<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] interface vlan-interface 100
[Sysname-Vlan-interface100] multicast boundary 239.2.0.0 16
