Notice about Gigabit Ethernet redundancy for a LAN MBONE
For Stinger systems with redundant controllers, you can configure Gigabit Ethernet
redundancy for a LAN MBONE interface to enable the system to maintain MBONE
operations across a controller switchover. For details, see “Configuring a redundant
LAN MBONE” on page 2-8.
LIM-side multicast client interfaces
The multicast clients must be on LIM interfaces, accessing the Stinger unit through
an ATM virtual circuit.
Transmission of multicast data to multicast clients on a local Ethernet interface is not
currently supported. For that reason, the following parameters not currently used in
the
ip-interface
profile and its
igmp-option
subprofile for the IP2000:
Configuring MBONE interfaces
To configure an MBONE interface, you must complete the following steps:
1
Enable multicast forwarding in the
ip-global
profile.
2
Specify a profile index for each MBONE interface in the
ip-global
profile.
3
Configure the
ip-interface
or
connection
profile for each LAN or WAN MBONE
interface. Be sure to set
multicast-allowed
to
yes
.
A Stinger IP2000 does not support multicast heartbeat monitoring, so the following
ip-global
settings are not used:
