Hi,
[1] I have read the cisco doc and it is not very clear when to use the
'address-family ipv4' and 'address-family ipv4 multicast' command ....
Can someone explain when to use this and its purpose .....
[2] Also, I was doing the technology lab from IE for multicast on
'Multicast BGP' and came to this part of the solution on R4 whereby it is
connected to R2 by an ethernet segment ....... My question is why is there
a next-hop-self to 150.1.24.2 which is the ethernet portion of R2 since it
is a *directly connected neighbor ? Pls explain as I don't understand why
the next-hop-self command is needed here ? Most of the time it is used on
frame-relay back to back connections only right ?*
address-family ipv4 multicast
neighbor 150.1.24.2 activate
*neighbor 150.1.24.2 next-hop-self
*neighbor 150.1.45.5 activate
exit address-family
!
address-family ipv4
neighbor 150.1.24.2 activate
neighbor 150.1.45.5 activate
exit address-family
Thank you,
Cheers,
