Chapter 1 Using the Cisco Multicast Manager
Using the Administration Tool
Domain Management
Using Domain Management, you can create and edit domains. A domain is a collection of multicast
routers. Multiple domains may exist, and routers can belong to multiple domains.
The first step in using the CMM is to create a domain:
Step 1
From the Multicast Manager Home page, select the Administration tool.
Step 2
Click on Domain Management.
Step 3
Click on add a new domain. The System Configuration page appears.
Step 4
Complete the fields in the System Configuration page (see field descriptions below) and click
Save
to
continue and create the new domain. Click
Cancel
to exit without creating a domain.
The System Configuration page contains:
Field
Description
Management Domain
A management domain is defined as a contiguous

SNMP read-only community string.

SNMP read-write community string. This is
required for retrieving and validating device
configurations.
SNMP Timeout
Retry period if node does not respond. Default
value is 0.8.
SNMP Retries
Number of retries to contact a node before issuing
a timeout. Default value is 2.

of the CMM server.
VTY Password
The VTY password is required if you want to

Certain features, such as querying Layer 2
switches, also require this. If TACACS is being
used, then a username and password can be
supplied instead of the VTY password.

TACACS/RADIUS Username
If you are using TACACS/RADIUS then you can
enter a username here. See VTY Password above.
Note
If you enter a TACACS/RADIUS
username and password here, the
application will use these values
regardless of who is currently logged in.
Users can also enter their own username
and password when issuing show
commands.
