GMRP
The GMRP protocol is designed in order for the switches fit the multicast data transmission
based on requests issued by customers in each of the interfaces.
However, the protocol is able to manually set the transmission of multicast addresses, so
that client devices that are not running the protocol can operate properly. This option is
performed by configuring the registers of the
Static
zone
.
Unlike purely manual operation, the execution of the protocol involves the automatic
propagation of application manually set towards the rest of the switches in the network,
so it is only necessary to configure the multicast address on the equipment on which the
interface is involved.
Additionally, the GMRP protocol also applies this type of manual configuration in an
abstract group address, called
Forward All
, which means than an interface wants to
receive all multicast traffic. This option is configured individually for each local interface of
the equipment.
