Field | Description | |
|
| |
| Specifies the interval between sending Hello packets to other routers on the | |
| network. The Hello messages are used by the router to determine whether it | |
Hello Interval | is the root router on the delivery tree or not. If the router does not receive a | |
Hello message within the Hello Interval, it will begin transmitting Hello | ||
| ||
| messages to advertise its availability to become the root router. The range is | |
| between 1— 65535 seconds. The default is 30 seconds. | |
|
| |
| Specifies the interval between transmitting (flooding to all interfaces) | |
| multicast messages to downstream routers, and automatically “pruning” a | |
| branch from the multicast delivery tree. This interval also determines the | |
| time interval the router uses to automatically perform the following: | |
Join/Prune Interval | • Remove prune information from a branch of a multicast delivery tree. | |
| ||
| • Begin to flood multicast messages to all branches of that delivery tree. | |
| These two actions are equivalent. The range is between 1— 65535 | |
| seconds. The default is 60 seconds. | |

Static Router Port Settings
A static router port allows UDP multicast and IGMP packets to be forwarded to a designated port regardless of VLAN configuration.
A router port functions within Layer 2 of the OSI model. A static router port is a port that has a router attached to it. Generally, this router would have a connection to a WAN or to the Internet. Establishing a router port will allow multicast packets coming from the router to be propagated through the network. It also allows multicast messages coming from the network to be propagated to the router.
The purpose of a router port is to enable UDP multicast packets and IGMP multicast group membership messages to reach multiple ports of a
