Creating Multicast VLANs
Page 23-8
Defining Recipients By MAC Address
After you define the multicast address, the following menu displays:
Select rule type:
1. Port Rule
2. MAC Address Rule
3. Multicast Address Rule
Enter rule type (1):
1. Press
2
and
<Return>
.
2. The following prompt displays:
Set Rule Admin Status to ((e)nable/(d)isable):
Indicate whether or not you want to enable this rule. Type
e
to enable or
d
to disable. If
you enable the rule, the multicast
VLAN
will use it to determine membership of devices. If
you disable the rule, then this rule will not be used in assigning devices to this multicast
VLAN
, but the parameters you set up for the multicast
VLAN
will be saved. This Admin
Status is different from the Admin Status for the multicast
VLAN
as it controls only this
specific rule within this specific multicast
VLAN
. You can enable or disable the rule at a
later time using the
modmcvl
command.
3. The following prompt displays:
Enter the list of MAC addresses (Enter save to end):
Enter the
MAC
addresses that you want to receive multicast traffic for this multicast
VLAN
.
Separate addresses by a space. When you have entered the final
MAC
address, leave a
space and type
save
.
4. The following prompt will display:
Configure more rules for this vlan (y/n):
You can set up multiple rules for the same multicast
VLAN
. Enter a
Y
here if you want to
set up more rules in addition to the port rule specified here. If you enter
Y
, you will be
prompted for the next rule that you want to set up on this multicast
VLAN
. If you enter
N
,
you will receive a message, similar to the one below, indicating that the multicast
VLAN
was set up.
VLAN 3:24 created successfully
5. If you are done setting up rules for this multicast
VLAN
, then your multicast
VLAN
is set
up. You can monitor activity on these multicast
VLAN
s through other AutoTracker
commands. See later sections in this chapter for information on these commands.
