Configuring IP Multicast Address for CFS over IP
Configuring IP Multicast Address for CFS over IP
All CFS over IP enabled switches with similar multicast addresses form one CFS over IP network. CFS
protocol-specific distributions, such as the keepalive mechanism for detecting network topology changes, use
the IP multicast address to send and receive information.
CFS distributions for application data use directed unicast.
Note
Configuring IPv4 Multicast Address for CFS
You can configure a CFS over IP multicast address value for IPv4. The default IPv4 multicast address is

Command or Action
switch# configure
switch(config)# cfs ipv6
mcast-address ipv4-address
Purpose
Enters configuration mode.
Configures the IPv4 multicast address for CFS distribution
over IPv4. The ranges of valid IPv4 addresses are
239.255.0.0 through 239.255.255.255 and 239.192/16
through 239.251/16.
(Optional)
Reverts to the default IPv4 multicast address for CFS
distribution over IPv4. The default IPv4 multicast address
for CFS is 239.255.70.83.
Purpose
Enters configuration mode.
Configures the IPv6 multicast address for CFS distribution
over IPv6. The range of valid IPv6 addresses is ff15::/16
(ff15::0000:0000 through ff15::ffff:ffff) and ff18::/16
(ff18::0000:0000 through ff18::ffff:ffff).
