Note: When IGMP is enabled on an interface, the switch IGMP snooping flag is set to Enabled and becomes a read-only parameter.

The Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol (DVMRP) is a hop-based method of building multicast delivery trees from multicast sources to all nodes of a network. Because the delivery trees are “pruned” and use the “shortest path,” DVMRP is relatively efficient. Because multicast group membership information is forwarded by a distance-vector algorithm, propagation is slow. DVMRP is optimized for high delay (high latency) and relatively low-bandwidth networks, and it can be considered as a “best-effort” multicasting protocol.

To configure DVMRP for an IP interface

1.From the Main Menu, select Layer 3 - IP Networking Setup DVMRP Interface Configurations and press Enter.

2.Configure these fields.

	Field	Description

	Interface Name	Specifies the name of the interface to configure. This must be a previously
	Interface Name	defined IP interface.
		defined IP interface.

		Specifies the maximum interval the switch will wait to hear from a neighbor.
	Neighbor Timeout Interval	If this interval expires, the switch assumes that this neighbor is down. Enter
		a value from 1—65535. The default is 35.

		Specifies the interval between probes. A probe is a query to other routers to
	Probe Interval	determine if a multicast group is present on a given router subnetwork.
		Enter a value from 1—65535 seconds. The default is 10.

		Specifies the cost for this path. The higher the assigned cost, the less likely
	Metric	it is that multicast packets will be routed over this interface (provided that
		other path options exist). Enter a value between 1—31. The default is 1.

	State	Enables or disables DVMRP for this interface.

3. Highlight APPLY and press Enter.

PIM-DM Interface Configurations

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

To configure PIM-DM for an IP interface

1.From the Main Menu, select Layer 3 - IP Networking Setup PIM-DM Interface Configurations and press Enter.
