Monitoring IGMP & DVMRP

Multicast Routing Configuration

To prevent the RS from forwarding any data destined to a scoped group on an interface, enter the following command
in the Configure mode:

19.4.6

Configuring a DVMRP Tunnel

The RS supports DVMRP tunnels to the MBONE (the multicast backbone of the Internet). You can configure a
DVMRP tunnel on a router if the other end is running DVMRP. The RS then sends and receives multicast packets over
the tunnel. Tunnels are CPU-intensive; they are not switched directly through the RS’s multitasking ASICs.

DVMRP tunnels need to be created before being enabled. Tunnels are recognized by the tunnel name. Once a DVMRP
tunnel is created, you can enable DVMRP on the interface. The RS supports a maximum of eight tunnels.

To configure a DVMRP tunnel, enter the following command in Configure mode:

You can also control the rate of DVMRP traffic in a DVMRP tunnel. The default rate is 500 Kbps.

To control the rate of DVMRP traffic, enter the following command in Configure mode:

19.5 MONITORING IGMP & DVMRP
