For this example, assume that the VLANs and IP addressing are already configured on the routing switch.

On the three routing switches,
VLAN 25 is multinetted with
subnets that match in only one
instance. Since subnet 10.38.10.x
exists on VLAN 25 in all routing
switches, it serves as the source
IP address for multicast traffic
outbound on VLAN 25 for the
network.
The remaining VLANs (27, 28,
29, and 30) in the network are not
multinetted on the routing
switches and it is not necessary to
configure a source address for
multicast routing on these other
VLANs.
In this example, the multicast
source transmits packets with a
TTL (time-to-live) of 192. To
prevent these packets from
moving beyond routers 2 and 3,
you would configure the TTL in
the downstream routers (below
routers 2 and 3) at 190. (It is not
necessary to configure the TTL
on routers 1 - 3.)
