Viewing DVMRP Status and Parameters for a Specific Interface

To view current DVMRP interfaces, including their operational status and assigned metrics, use the

show ip dvmrp interface command. For example:

Note. The show ip dvmrp interface command displays information for all multicast-capable interfaces

(i.e. even interfaces where DVMRP might not be configured).

Globally Enabling DVMRP on the Switch

To globally enable DVMRP on the switch, enter the following command:

-> ip dvmrp status enable

Globally Disabling DVMRP

The following command will globally disable DVMRP on the switch:

-> ip dvmrp status disable
Checking the Current Global DVMRP Status

To view current global DVMRP enable/disable status, as well as additional global DVMRP settings, use

the show ip dvmrp command. For example:

-> show ip dvmrp interface
Interface Name Vlan Metric Admin-Status Oper-Status
--------------+------+--------+-------------+--------------
vlan-2 2 1 Enabled Enabled
The corresponding
interface is configured
for DVMRP (i.e., it is
DVMRP-enabled).
Current assigned metric
is shown as 1. The interface is
operationally down
because there are no
ports operationally
up in VLAN 2.
-> show ip dvmrp
