Navigate to the IP Profile Parameters screen.

Typically, you will have a Connection Profile that you created in Easy Setup. You may have more. Select the
Connection Profile that you want to use from the Display/Change Connection Profile menu, and then select IP
Profile Parameters.

Note:

The Multicast Forwarding option is only visible in this screen if Multicast For warding is set to Tx in the

IP Setup menu. See

“IP Setup” on page 7-2

By default, Multicast For warding is turned off (None) on Connection Profiles until you enable a specific
Connection Profile to receive multicast data. You enable it by selecting Rx. from the pop-up menu.

Virtual Router Redundancy (VRRP)

Netopia Firmware Version 8.7 offers Vir tual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP). A Vir tual Router is a software
abstraction consisting of a group of two or more hardware routers protecting one or more IP addresses. One of
the routers is designated as the Master, while the others are backups. VRRP is a protocol that provides
redundancy to routers within a local area network by allowing alternate paths for a PC without changing the IP
address or MAC address by which the PC knows its gateway.

To configure Vir tual Routers, from the IP Setup screen select VRRP Options and press Return.

The Ethernet LAN VRRP Options screen appears.

Each logical IP inter face can have a maximum of two Vir tual Routers.
