The following are the configuration guidelines for the 7210 SAS:
7210 SAS platforms can be used as RPs.
Static RP configuration using PIM BSR messages is supported.
It is possible to configure the 7210 SAS as a First Hop Multicast router (FHR) from the source in a PIM-SM network.
7210 SAS devices provide an option to either switch over to the SPT or continue to use the shared tree. However, the traffic rate threshold cannot be configured to trigger the switch over.
RFP checks are performed using the unicast routing table. Multicast BGP and multicast routing table are not supported.
