Catalyst 4006 with Supervisor Engine II Multicast Support?

[justin.shields]

Hi, I have a Catalyst 4006 with Supervisor Engine II. I would like to know if it is possible to enable multicast routing via CGMP or IGMP. I know it is possible with the Supervisor Engine III. Any advice would be appreciated.

I suppose I should qualify this more by saying that I need to know if this switch will support IGMP or CGMP with Pim Sparse or Dense mode.

And were running 12.0(7).

Justin,

If you are running IOS, then I take it that it is a SII+ WS-X4013+ rather than an SII WS-X4013. In that case, it should give you the same features as the SIII as far as multicast handling is concerned. However, I do not know about 12.0 on the SII+ - we use 12.2 EWA.

Cat4006 wiht sup II runs a CatOS and it's stricly Layer 2 therefore it does not support any kind of routing (L3). It does support multicast services. Switches can use CGMP, IGMP filtering, or GMRP to dynamically configure switch ports so that IP multicast traffic is forwarded only to ports that are associated with IP multicast hosts.

Ok, so it turns out I have the WS-X4013 SupII with a WS-X4232-L3 Layer 3 Routing Module. So, Pim should work, yes?
