| Certification Program Name: | PIM Dense Mode - IP Multicasting |
| Certification Program ID: | 10724 |
| Certification Program Category: | Cisco Interoperability - Routing Protocols |
| Description: | This verifies a devices ability to host and join IP multicast groups via PIM DM in a network that includes the Cisco 175x-class router.(The 1751 is assumed to have code interoperable with other Cisco devices.) |
| Interpretation: | Devices earning this certification have demonstrated the ability to provide IP Multicasting services using the PIM DM protocol. |
| Product Applicability: | This certification is applicable to all devices that have implemented IP multicasting support. |
| Testing Overview: | The Tolly Group will generate IP Multicast traffic using Spirent Smart Multicast IP. The Tolly Group will then verify the ability of the SUTs to respond to multicast requests received from the Cisco device. It will be confirmed in the SUTs configuration they these aforementioned protocols are being supported. (As an alternative to the IP Multicast traffic generator, actual IP Multicast end stations can be used to generate traffic.)
As needed, observations can be made using appropriate trace facilities. |
