Appendix C 

Revision 2 

 

C–8

 

If required, you can create QoS rules with “Filter All” enabled to filter undesired Multicast from 

traversing the satellite network for both the CTOG-250 and the CDM-840.  

C.5.1  Multicast Management/Routed Behavior (No Change) 

In both BPM and Router Modes, Multicast packets arriving at the Management (routed) port of 

the CTOG-250 and CDM-840 must be configured to be transmitted to the WAN by adding a 

Multicast-specific route table entry with a “/32” subnet. 

 

Packets arriving at the CDM-840 downlink pass out the CDM-840 Ethernet port based upon the 

following criteria (configurable via NetVue or the Web page for each CDM-840): 

 

 

Downlink (outbound from the Hub Segment) Multicast All –

 All downlink outbound 

Multicast packets pass to the Traffic LAN interface of the CDM-840 unit. 

 

 

Use IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) 

– Only remotes that have IGMP clients 

enabled with the Multicast address pass the Multicast packet to the CDM-840’s LAN port. 

C.6  BPM and Group QoS with Outbound ACM/VCM 

 

Figure E-7. Configuring VLAN to QoS Group Mapping (CTOG-250 shown) 

ACM/VCM on the Outbound carrier works with BPM by seamlessly matching packets to the 

correct remote site. While no configuration is required, you have the ability to first use a VLAN 

ID, and then use a Subnet/Mask, to associate a packet to a QoS Group. This functionality allows 

you to partition the Outbound Carrier capacity.
