Workflow for multicast manager

Stages


1	Ensure that PIM and IGMP are properly configured using the NFM-P.
2	Create a PIM domain. If one PIM domain is used, all of the existing or potential multicast routers could belong to this PIM domain. See To create a PIM domain for more information.
3	Add PIM and IGMP routers to the PIM domain. See To create a PIM domain for more information.
4	Create a multicast group. See To create a multicast group for more information.
5	Populate multicast groups for the multicast network with (*,G) and (S,G) pairs. See To automatically populate a multicast group for more information.
6	Resynchronize all of the multicast network objects in the CPAM with the NFM-P, as required. See To resync the multicast network for more information.
7	After a router is added to the PIM domain, you can: View PIM interface information. See To view a PIM interface for more information. View IGMP link assocations with PIM interfaces. See To view the IGP link associated with a PIM interface for more information. View IGMP interface information. See To view an IGMP interface for more information. View MSDP information. See To view an MSDP site for more information. View RP information. See To view RP information for more information. View C-RP information. See To view candidate RP information for more information. View anycast RP information. See To view anycast RP information for more information. View BSR information. See To view BSR information for more information. View multicast state information. See To view multicast group information for a PIM domain for more information.
8	Open the multicast topology view. See To open the multicast topology view for more information.
9	Highlight RPs on the multicast topology view, as required. See To highlight RPs for more information.
10	Highlight routers with mismatched RP tables on the multicast topology view, as required. See To highlight routers with mismatched RP tables for more information.
11	Highlight BSRs on the multicast topology view, as required. See To highlight BSRs for more information.
12	Highlight routers with mismatched BSRs on the multicast topology view, as required. See To highlight routers with mismatched elected BSRs for more information.
13	Highlight the multicast tree on the multicast topology view, as required. See To highlight the multicast tree for more information.
14	Highlight routers for a multicast group or mask on the multicast topology view, as required. See To highlight routers for a multicast group or mask for more information.
15	Highlight active sources for a group on the multicast topology view, as required. See To highlight active sources for a group for more information.
16	Perform a highlighted multicast path audit, as required. See To perform a highlighted multicast path audit for more information.
17	View the legend for a topology map, if required. See To view the legend for a topology map for more information.
