type

This command specifies the type of data to exchange for the peer group.

Syntax

type slm

type slm-multicast

Parameters

slm
Specifies that the SLM peer group uses unicast packet transmission for data exchange. This setting is the default value and the only available setting when the platform is docker.
slm-multicast
Specifies that the SLM peer group use multicast packet transmission for data exchange. This setting is not available when the platform is docker.

Guidelines

The type command specifies the type of data exchange that is used by the peer group. All members in an SLM peer group must specify the same type.

When set to slm-multicast, use the ip-multicast command to assign the IP multicast configuration that supports IP multicasting.

Example

Create the SLM-Group1 peer group. Identify SLM multicast as the data exchange method for the peer group.
# peer-group SLM-Group1
Peer Group configuration
# type slm-multicast
