Fix Recommendation

Configure the router to filter PIM register messages received from a multicast DR for any undesirable multicast groups and sources. The example below will deny any multicast streams for groups 239.5.0.0/16 and allow from only sources 10.1.2.6 and 10.1.2.7.

R2(config)#ip access-list extended PIM_REGISTER_FILTER
R2(config-ext-nacl)#deny ip any 239.5.0.0 0.0.255.255
R2(config-ext-nacl)#permit ip host 10.1.2.6 any
R2(config-ext-nacl)#permit ip host 10.1.2.7 any
R2(config-ext-nacl)#deny ip any any
R2(config-ext-nacl)#exit
R2(config)#ip pim accept-register list PIM_REGISTER_FILTER
R2(config)#end

Check Contents

Verify that the RP router is configured to filter PIM register messages. The example below will deny any multicast streams for groups 239.5.0.0/16 and allow from only sources 10.1.2.6 and 10.1.2.7.

ip pim rp-address 10.1.12.3
ip pim accept-register list PIM_REGISTER_FILTER



ip access-list extended PIM_REGISTER_FILTER
deny ip any 239.5.0.0 0.0.255.255
permit ip host 10.1.2.6 any
permit ip host 10.1.2.7 any
deny ip any any

If the RP router peering with PIM-SM routers is not configured with a policy to block registration messages for any undesirable multicast groups and sources, this is a finding.
