DVMRP

 

 

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 7.7 on page 79 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 88

 

on page 177).

Active

Select Active to enable DVMRP on this IP routing domain.

 

 

Apply

Click Apply to save these changes to the switch.

 

 

Cancel

Click Cancel to begin configuring this part of the screen afresh.
