-Configuration
-=============
-
-.. cfgcmd:: set protocols igmp-proxy interface <interface> role <upstream | downstream>
-
- * **upstream:** The upstream network interface is the outgoing interface
- which is responsible for communicating to available multicast data sources.
- There can only be one upstream interface.
-
- * **downstream:** Downstream network interfaces are the distribution
- interfaces to the destination networks, where multicast clients can join
- groups and receive multicast data. One or more downstream interfaces must
- be configured.
-
-.. cfgcmd:: set protocols igmp-proxy interface <interface> alt-subnet <network>
-
- Defines alternate sources for multicasting and IGMP data. The network address
- must be on the following format 'a.b.c.d/n'. By default the router will
- accept data from sources on the same network as configured on an interface.
- If the multicast source lies on a remote network, one must define from where
- traffic should be accepted.
-
- This is especially useful for the upstream interface, since the source for
- multicast traffic is often from a remote location.
-
- This option can be supplied multiple times.
-
-.. cfgcmd:: set protocols igmp-proxy disable-quickleave
-
- Disables quickleave mode. In this mode the daemon will not send a Leave IGMP
- message upstream as soon as it receives a Leave message for any downstream
- interface. The daemon will not ask for Membership reports on the downstream
- interfaces, and if a report is received the group is not joined again
- upstream.
-
- If it's vital that the daemon should act exactly as a real multicast client
- on the upstream interface, this function should be enabled.
-
- Enabling this function increases the risk of bandwidth saturation.
-
-.. cfgcmd:: set protocols igmp-proxy disable
-
- Disable this service.
-
-Example
--------
-
-Interface `eth1` LAN is behind NAT. In order to subscribe `10.0.0.0/23` subnet
-multicast which is in `eth0` WAN we need to configure igmp-proxy.
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- set protocols igmp-proxy interface eth0 role upstream
- set protocols igmp-proxy interface eth0 alt-subnet 10.0.0.0/23
- set protocols igmp-proxy interface eth1 role downstream

-
-.. opcmd:: restart igmp-proxy
-
- Restart the IGMP proxy process.

+#########
+Multicast
+#########
+
+VyOS facilitates IP Multicast by supporting **PIM Sparse Mode**,
+**IGMP** and **IGMP-Proxy**.
+
+
+************
+PIM and IGMP
+************
+
+PIM (Protocol Independent Multicast) must be configured in every
+interface of every participating router. Every router must also have the
+location of the Rendevouz Point manually configured. Then,
+unidirectional shared trees rooted at the Rendevouz Point will
+automatically be built for multicast distribution.
+
+Traffic from multicast sources will go to the Rendezvous Point, and
+receivers will pull it from a shared tree using IGMP (Internet Group
+Management Protocol).
+
+Multicast receivers will talk IGMP to their local router, so, besides
+having PIM configured in every router, IGMP must also be configured in
+any router where there could be a multicast receiver locally connected.
+
+VyOS supports both IGMP version 2 and version 3 (which allows
+source-specific multicast).
+
+
+Example
+=======
+
+In the following example we can see a basic multicast setup:

+
+
+Basic commands
+==============
+
+These are the commands for a basic setup.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols pim interface <interface-name>
+
+ Use this command to enable PIM in the selected interface so that it
+ can communicate with PIM neighbors.
+
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols pim rp address <address> group <multicast-address/mask-bits>
+
+ Use this comand to manually configure a Rendevouz Point for PIM so
+ that join messages can be sent there. Set the Rendevouz Point address
+ and the matching prefix of group ranges covered. These values must
+ be shared with every router participating in the PIM network.
+
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols igmp interface eth1
+
+ Use this command to configure an interface with IGMP so that PIM can
+ receive IGMP reports and query on the selected interface. By defaul
+ IGMP version 3 will be used.
+
+
+
+Tuning commands
+===============
+
+You can also tune multicast with the following commands.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols pim interface <interface> dr-priority <value>
+
+ Use this PIM command in the selected interface to set the priority
+ (1-4294967295) you want to influence in the election of a node to
+ become the Designated Router for a LAN segment. The default priority
+ is 1, set a higher value to give the router more preference in the
+ DR election process.
+
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols pim int <interface> hello <seconds>
+
+ Use this command to configure the PIM hello interval in seconds
+ (1-180) for the selected interface.
+
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols pim rp keep-alive-timer <seconds>
+
+ Use this PIM command to modify the the time out value (31-60000
+ seconds) for an `(S,G) <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7761#section-4.1>`_
+ flow. 31 seconds is chosen for a lower bound as some hardware
+ platforms cannot see data flowing in better than 30 second chunks.
+
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols igmp interface <interface> join <multicast-address> source <IP-address>
+
+ Use this command to allow the selected interface join a multicast
+ group defining the multicast address you want to join and the source
+ IP address too.
+
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols igmp interface <interface query-interval <seconds>
+
+ Use this command to configure in the selected interface the IGMP
+ host query interval (1-1800) in seconds that PIM will use.
+
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols igmp interface <interface query-max-response-time <deciseconds>
+
+ Use this command to configure in the selected interface the IGMP
+ query response timeout value (10-250) in deciseconds. If a report is
+ not returned in the specified time, it will be asumed the `(S,G) or
+ (*,G) state <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7761#section-4.1>`_ has
+ timed out.
+
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols igmp interface <interface> version <version-number>
+
+ Use this command to define in the selected interface whether you
+ choose IGMP version 2 or 3. The default value is 3.
+
