Figure 6-56. Multicast Interface Configuration screen

This menu allows the assignment of a multicast routing protocol to an IP interface. The IP interface must have been previously configured on the switch.

In addition, IGMP may be enabled or disabled for the selected IP interface.

The available multicast protocols are the Protocol Independent Multicast – Dense Mode (PIM-DM), and the Distance-Vector Multicast Routing Protocol (DVMRP).

INACT is not a multicast routing protocol. It is used to make a given interface inactive for IP Multicast routing and can still route IP traffic.

Parameter

Description

Interface

Name:[

Allows the entry of the name of the

]

 

IP interface that is to be configured

 

 

for multicasting. This must be a

 

 

previously configured IP interface.

IGMP: <Enabled>

This field can be toggled between

 

 

Enabled and Disabled using the

 

 

space bar. This will enable or disable

IGMP for the IP interface entered above.

Protocol: <INACT> This field can be toggled between

Protocol Independent Multicasting

Dense Mode (PIMDM), Distance

Vector Multicasting Routing Protocol (DVMRP), and INACT (inactive). INACT is not a multicast routing protocol. It is used to make a given interface inactive for IP Multicast routing yet can still route IP traffic.
