7.6.4. Multicast
Multicast management for mesh network-capable devices
Multicast is a group-communication method in which data transmissions
are addressed simultaneously to more than one destination computer.
Multicast transmissions can be point-to-multipoint, or multipoint-to-
multipoint.
By default, if CCTV cameras and devices that operate in a similar fashion
are linked to a Cisco transceiver unit operating in
Mesh Point
mode,the
unit forwards all multicast traffic generated by the cameras to the
closest
Mesh End
unit in the wireless network.
However, depending on network configuration, it may be convenient to
forward multicast traffic from one Mesh Point unit to another Mesh Point
unit, to allow such tasks as remote recording of the video data flow.
By default, units operating in
Mesh End
mode do not forward multicast
traffic to a wireless network. The only exceptions to this rule are universal
plug and play (UPnP) and Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP)
traffic.
To redirect traffic flow to a
Mesh Point
unit, all multicast flow redirection
information must be specified using the Multicast settings on a
Mesh End
unit.
NOTE
To change the unit's Multicast settings, make sure that the unit
is in
Mesh End
mode as shown in
. Multicast controls are not available if the unit
is set to
Mesh Point
mode.
To set multicast rules on a
Mesh End
unit, do the following steps:
1.
Find the
Mesh End
unit in the wireless network that is most
suitable for forwarding multicast traffic.
NOTE
Multicast flow redirection information can only be
specified from a
Mesh End
unit. The Mesh End unit
will distribute the multicast data to all other Cisco
devices in the wireless network.
2.
Connect to the Mesh End unit as shown in
FM1200 Volo for device configuration” (page 47)
.
3.
Click the
-multicast
link under
ADVANCED SETTINGS
in the
left-hand settings menu.
