IPv4 Multicast Flashcards

1
Q

What is multicast?

A

Multicast is a type of group communication where data transmission is addressed to a group of destination computers simultaneously. Multicast can be one-to-many or many-to-many distribution.

In other words, a single packet can be forwarded on to multiple other endpoints or networks.

Q

What is the IPv4 address range for multicast addresses?

A

Class D addresses from 224.0.0.0 - 239.255.255.255. (224.0.0.0/4)

Note there are some exceptions in that range for special purposes.

Q

What is IGMP?

A

Internet Group Management Protocol - the protocol a host endpoint will use to join a Multicast group. This occurs within a given VLAN/network for hosts to tell their routers they want to listen for Multicast traffic.

What is a multicast group?

A

Q

In Multicast distribution, what is a SPT?

A

Shortest Path Tree - when routers negotiate a multicast path that is a more direct path than traversing the shared tree.

Q

How does Multicast Dense Mode function?

A

The router just sends multicast messages to all of its PIM neighbors. When a network or neighbor doesn’t want the traffic, it will send back “Prune” messages to stop it.

This is the least popular type of Multicast mode

Q

How does Sparse Mode function?

Q

How does SSM (Source Specific Multicast) function?

A

When a client knows the source of a multicast and wants to subscribe to that multicast group via IGMP.

Q

What is the biggest difference between IGMP and PIM?

A

IGMP functions on the LAN where the endpoints are located. PIM functions between routers.

21
Q

What does it mean when a Multicast address has zeros in the second and third octet (i.e. 224.0.0.22)?

A

This is a local segment only address that cannot be routed.

22
Q

What command would you use to show the multicast routing table on a Cisco device?

A

show ip mroute

23
Q

What command would you use to verify IGMP on an interface?

A

show ip igmp interface <interface></interface>

24
Q

What command would you use to verify multicast neighbors?

A

show ip pim neighbors

25
Q

What is the 232.x.x.x IPv4 octet designated for?

A

Source Specific Multicast; However, this is not a requirement for SSM

26
Q

On what device in the network does IGMP Snooping occur?

A

Switch (Layer 2)

27
Q

What does IGMP Snooping do?

A

It prevents multicast from being sent to hosts on a LAN segment that do not want it. (Preserving bandwidth)

28
Q

What is Auto-RP?

A

A Cisco mechanism for multicast that performs group-to-RP mapping

29
Q

What is the range of multicast addresses that are reserved for the local network control (not forwarded from the broadcast domain)?

A

224.0.0.0/24

30
Q

What is the range of multicast addresses that are reserved for the Internetwork network control (may be forwarded through the Internet)?

A

224.0.1.0/24

Note: NTP uses this on 224.0.1.1

31
Q

What multicast address means “all hosts in this subnet”?

A

224.0.0.1

32
Q

What multicast address means “all Routers in this subnet”?

A

224.0.0.2

33
Q

What multicast address means “all OSPF Routers” ?

A

224.0.0.5

34
Q

What multicast address means “all OSPF DRs (OSPFDRouters)”?

A

224.0.0.6

35
Q

What multicast address means “all RIPv2 Routers”?

A

224.0.0.9

36

A

224.0.0.10

37
Q

What multicast address means “all PIM Routers”?

A

224.0.0.13

38
Q

What multicast address is for VRRP?

A

224.0.0.18

39
Q

What multicast is for IGMPv3?

A

224.0.0.22

40
Q

What multicast address is for HSRP and GLBP?

A

224.0.0.102

41
Q

What multicast address is for NTP?

A

224.0.1.1

42
Q

What multicast address is for Cisco-RP-Announce (Auto-RP)?

A

224.0.1.39

43
Q

What multicast address is for Cisco-RP-Discovery (Auto-RP)?

A

224.0.1.40

44
Q

What multicast address range is reserved for SSM?

A

232.0.0.0/8

45
Q

What multicast address range is reserved for GLOB (Globally scoped assigned)?

A

233.0.0.0/8

46
Q

What multicast address range is reserved for Administratively assigned (i.e. private use) via RFC 2365?

A

239.0.0.0/8

47
Q

What are the first 24 bits of any Multicast MAC address?

A

01:00:5e

48
Q

How is a multicast address converted to the Multicast MAC?

A

The first 24 bits of a multicast MAC address always start with 01:00:5E. The low-order bit of the first byte is the individual/group bit (I/G) bit, also known as the unicast/multicast bit, and when it is set to 1, it indicates that the frame is a multicast frame, and the 25th bit is always 0. The lower 23 bits of the multicast MAC address are copied from the lower 23 bits of the multicast group IP address.

49
Q

What is the TTL field value set for every IGMPv2 packet?

A
