Modifying DVMRP Interface Information

To modify DMVRP interface parameters:

1.In the DVMRP Configuration section of the Web Agent window, click Interfaces. The DVMRP Interfaces dialog box opens.

Note: If no DVMRP interfaces are enabled for your existing IP interfaces (VLANs), you must first enable a multicast protocol before you can configure DVMRP. Refer to “Creating an IP Interface”, earlier in this chapter, for more information on how to select a multicast protocol.
