Multicast Address Group Range Support

The Multicast Address Group Range Support feature enhances multicast access control by introducing the capability to define a global range of multicast groups and channels to be permitted or denied using the ip multicast group-range command.

Multicast MIB VRF Support

The Multicast MIB VRF Support feature is an enhancement to help manage Cisco devices in a multicast VPN (MVPN) environment using SNMP. This feature enhances the Cisco suite of supported multicast MIBs by making the following multicast MIBs VRF aware:

CISCO-IPMROUTE-MIB

CISCO-PIM-MIB

IGMP-STD-MIB

IPMROUTE-STD-MIB

MSDP-MIB

PIM-MIB

Multicast VRF (MVRF) awareness enables the MIB objects associated with these multicast MIBs to be queried and set for the individual MVRFs configured. In addition, MVRF awareness provides the capability to detect conditions for a trap inside of an MVRF and lookup the correct information for that MVRF; the traps would then be sent to the SNMP manager that is configured for that MVRF.

For detailed information about these MIBs, and to locate and download MIBs for selected platforms, Cisco IOS releases, and feature sets, use Cisco MIB Locator found at http://www.cisco.com/go/mibs.
