DES-3326S Layer 3 Fast Ethernet Switch User’s Guide

Neighbor Timeout Interval <35>

This field allows an entry between 1 and 65,535 seconds and defines the time period for DVMRP will hold Neighbor Router reports before issuing poison route messages. The default is 35 seconds.

Metric <1>	This field allows an entry between 1
	and 31 and defines the route cost for
	the IP interface. The DVMRP route
	cost is a relative number that
	represents the real cost of using this
	route in the construction of a
	multicast delivery tree. It is similar
	to, but not defined as, the hop count
	in RIP. The default cost is 1.
State <Disabled>	This field can be toggled between
	Enabled and Disabled and enables or
	disables DVMRP for the IP interface.
	The default is Disabled.

PIM-DM Settings

The Protocol Independent Multicast – Dense Mode (PIM-DM) protocol should be used in networks with a low delay (low latency) and high bandwidth as PIM-DM is optimized to guarantee delivery of multicast packets, not to reduce overhead.

The PIM-DM multicast routing protocol is assumes that all downstream routers want to receive multicast messages and relies upon explicit prune messages from downstream routers to remove branches from the multicast delivery tree that do not contain multicast group members.
