Multicast Forwarding

Used to control the forwarding of IP multicast frames. The following selections are available:

DISABLED – Disables multicast forwarding in both directions.

LAN to WAN – Enables forwarding of IP multicast frames addressed to groups appearing in the Static Multicast Groups table, from the LAN to the WAN.

WAN to LAN – Enables forwarding of IP multicast frames addressed to groups appearing in the Static Multicast Groups table, from the WAN to the LAN.

BIDIRECTIONAL – Enables forwarding of IP multicast frames addressed to groups appearing in the Static Multicast Groups table, in both directions.

WAN to LAN + IGMP – Enables forwarding of IP multicast frames addressed to groups appearing in the Static Multicast Groups table, from the WAN to the LAN. In addition, more groups can be added dynamically (the additional can be viewed using the View menu – Figure C-19).

TRANSPARENT – All the IP multicast frames are forwarded, irrespective of the Static Multicast Groups table.
