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 13.8 on page 139 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.

 

 

Active

Select Yes to enable DVMRP on this IP routing domain. Select No to disable this feature.

 

 

Apply

Click Apply to save these changes.

 

 

19.7 RIP
