LABEL

DESCRIPTION

Active

Select Active to enable DVMRP on the Switch. You should do this if you want the Switch

 

to act as a multicast router.

 

 

Threshold

Threshold is the maximum time to live (TTL) value. TTL is used to limit the scope of

 

multicasting. You should reduce this value if you do not wish to flood Layer 3 devices

 

many hops away with multicast traffic. This applies only to multicast traffic this Switch

 

sends out.

 

 

Index

Index is the DVMRP configuration for the IP routing domain defined under Network. The

 

maximum number of DVMRP configurations allowed is the maximum number of IP routing

 

domains allowed on the Switch. See Section 7.6 on page 81 for more information on IP

 

routing domains.

 

 

Network

This is the IP routing domain IP address and subnet mask you set up in IP Setup.

 

 

VID

DVMRP cannot be enabled on the same VLAN group across different IP routing domains,

 

that is, you cannot have duplicate VIDs for different DVMRP configurations (see Figure

 

136 on page 252).

 

 

Active

Select Active to enable DVMRP on this IP routing domain.

 

 

Apply

Click Apply to save your changes to the Switch’s run-time memory. The Switch loses

 

these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Save link on the top navigation

 

panel to save your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are done configuring.

 

 

Cancel

Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.
