Quick Start Guide

​
For Colo Customers (Direct Connection)

Best for customers connected via active/backup bond interfaces.
  1. Identify your interface: Usually bond0.
  2. Subscribe: Run the join command on your server: 
    scmroutectl join bond0 224.0.12.192
  3. Verify: Check your local interface for incoming traffic.
  4. Unsubscribe: Run the leave command: 
    scmroutectl leave bond0 224.0.12.192

​
For Cross-Connect Customers (BGP/PIM)

Best for customers using routing devices with BGP peering.
  1. Configure PIM RP: Set the Rendezvous Point on your routing device: 
    RP ADDRESS: 195.138.37.160
  2. Enable PIM: Ensure ip pim sparse-mode is active on all interfaces facing the Starbase Gateway.
  3. Subscribe: Send an IGMPv3 membership report from your server: 
    scmroutectl join [interface] 224.0.12.192
  4. Verify: Check the PIM neighbor status and mroute table on your switch.

Verification Commands

To confirm the ASM tree is building correctly toward the RP:
CommandPurpose
show ip pim neighborCheck neighbors (ensure status is “sparse”)
show ip pim rpCheck RP (should point to 195.138.37.160)
show ip mrouteCheck routing (verify outgoing interface is correct)
show ip pim rp-hash 224.0.12.192Confirm RP mapping (should return 195.138.37.160)
show ip mroute 224.0.12.192Check shared tree (*, G) entry pointing toward the RP
