Multicast Control
Multicast servers and clients can be on any of the DN200 interfaces. To provision multicast rules, the
source and destination of the stream and the multicast address on which the stream flows needs to be
identified. The screen below shows a typical multicast configuration.
Example: To enable multicast flows from 192.168.1.92 [attached on the wired segment – eth0] IGMP
multimedia server, to all wireless [ra_ap0] clients who are recipients, insert a rule as shown. There can
be multiple rules and these rules are launched upon restart of device.
Upon provisioning the multicast rule, the DN200 boot script is updated. The multicast rules take affect
upon reboot of the DN200. The boot script shown below illustrates the rule entry.
