Table 4-19. IP Multicast Global Parameter
Field Name
Description
IP Multicast Status -
Enable
The following IP Multicast Status global status
values are available:
•
Enable
- The router will forward IP multicast
packets between interfaces, based on
dynamically learned as well as configured
information. Multicast packets to be
forwarded are those whose destination is a
Class D address. Packets with a local
destination IP address, i.e. address of the form
224.0.0.X, are not forwarded.
•
Disable
- The router will not forward IP
multicast packets between interfaces.
•
Backup
- This mode ties the IP Multicast
function to the IP redundancy feature
(configured in the IP Redundancy windows).
With this status, the IP Multicast function is
inactive. It will automatically become active
in case of failure of the main router as
configured in the IP Redundancy windows.
•
Active Backup
- The IP Multicast function is
active, as if it was enabled, as long as the main
router (configured in the IP redundancy
window) is not operational. This status value
can not be configured. It is reached
automatically from Backup status upon
failure of the main router, provided that IP
redundancy was configured. When the main
router recovers, the status will return to
Backup.
