4.14.1Multicast relay

Please pay attention to the following points when relaying a multicast packet usi this router.

4.14.1.1Common to protocols

This router prepares a multicast routing entry for performing multicast communication when the first multicast packet is received. Because the multica packet is relayed by way of using the software until the entry is prepared, a pack may be lost temporarily.

This router does not support the mixed system of PIM-DM, PIM-SM and DVMRP. Therefore, use the router after unifying the multicast protocols of all the routers (PIM-DM, PIM-SM and DVMRP).

Please take note that multicast communication may stop until the multicast rout information is learned, if the operating system switched to the standby system by means of operation using the duplication router, or if the IP multicast routing program is re-actuated by charging the ip restart multicast command.
