1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,455 [MUSIC PLAYING] 2 00:00:02,455 --> 00:00:08,350 3 00:00:08,350 --> 00:00:12,550 Hello, and welcome to discovering multicast routing. 4 00:00:12,550 --> 00:00:17,890 In this skill, we're going to be taking a look at PIM operations 5 00:00:17,890 --> 00:00:19,460 on our network. 6 00:00:19,460 --> 00:00:22,990 So we'll start off with some overall operational 7 00:00:22,990 --> 00:00:24,040 information. 8 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:29,290 We'll talk about things such as what an S,G entry is and how 9 00:00:29,290 --> 00:00:32,350 this operates within our multicast routing table. 10 00:00:32,350 --> 00:00:35,920 Then we'll jump into something called the RPF check, 11 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,590 or the Reverse Path Forwarding check. 12 00:00:38,590 --> 00:00:42,550 We use this for two major things on our network, number one, 13 00:00:42,550 --> 00:00:45,280 knowing where to send PIM join messages. 14 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,730 And number two, we also use it for loop prevention. 15 00:00:48,730 --> 00:00:51,910 Then we'll jump into some detail on how 16 00:00:51,910 --> 00:00:56,420 dense mode works with PIM in our multicast environment. 17 00:00:56,420 --> 00:00:59,620 This is also referred to as flood and prune. 18 00:00:59,620 --> 00:01:01,240 And I think by the time we get through 19 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,340 that, you'll understand why. 20 00:01:03,340 --> 00:01:07,780 And finally, we'll wrap up with sparse mode operation, which 21 00:01:07,780 --> 00:01:10,400 is generally the preferred method of how 22 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,450 we run PIM in our environment. 23 00:01:12,450 --> 00:01:14,870 It's a little more complicated than dense mode, 24 00:01:14,870 --> 00:01:17,670 but ultimately, more efficient. 25 00:01:17,670 --> 00:01:20,240 So as you can hear, we have a lot of really cool stuff 26 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:21,360 to cover here. 27 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,120 So let's go ahead and jump in and get started. 28 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,400 I'll see you in the next video. 29 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:31,000
