Chapter 18 Configuring IP Multicast Layer 3 Switching
Configuring IP Multicast Layer 3 Switching
• If the SPT bit for the flow is cleared when running PIM sparse mode for the interface or group.
• For packets that require fragmentation and packets with IP options. However, packets in the flow
that do not specify IP options are Layer 3 switched.
• For source traffic received on tunnel interfaces (such as MBONE traffic).
PFC1 and PFC2 General Restrictions
Input ACL deny is not applied by the hardware ACL engine when the Layer 2 entry corresponding to the
Layer 3 flow does not exist in the Layer 2 forwarding table. The ACL will be applied by the MSFC
software.
Unsupported Features
If you enable IP multicast Layer 3 switching, IP accounting for Layer 3 interfaces does not report
accurate values. The show ip accounting command is not supported.
