CDM-570/570L Satellite Modem with Optional IP Module

Revision 12

Ethernet IP Module - CLI and Telnet Operation

MN/CDM570L.IOM

14–32

Selection

Entry Description

Modem as Client:

Recognized IGMP queries

C

Determines if the IP Module should respond to periodic queries from an

IGMP server that publishes a request to join a specified multicast group.
This parameter assumes either of the following values:

1. YES
2. NO

If set to YES, the IP Module will respond to an IGMP query by requesting to

join a Multicast Group published by the server that is defined in the IP

Module’s route table.
If set to NO, the IP Module will not respond to IGMP queries from a server. In

this type of configuration, the IP Module may be configured to unconditionally

request to join an IGMP group at an interval specified by the “Unsolicited

Report Interval” option in the Transmitter IGMP Client Configuration Page.

Modem as Client:
IGMP Version used for

Unsolicited Reports

U

Defines which version of the IGMP protocol should be followed when
attempting to join a group on a Multicast Server via an unsolicited report.

When the IP Module is configured to Recognize IGMP Queries, the IP

Module will respond to a query in the same version that the server used to

initiate the query.
This parameter assumes either of the following values:

1. V1
2. V2

The value of V1 configures the IP Module to use the IGMP Version 1 protocol
to join a Multicast Group available on an IGMP Server in response to an

IGMP Query.
The value of V2 configures the IP Module to use the IGMP Version 2 protocol

to join a Multicast Group available on an IGMP Server in response to an
IGMP Query.
Toggle the value of the IGMP Version used for Unsolicited Reports from ‘V1’

and ‘V2’ with each selection.

Modem as Client:

Force Cisco Router Alert
Option sending V1 reports

A

Some Cisco Routers may require the definition of a Router Alert Option to

recognize a report from a Client to join a Multicast group. The IP Router Alert
Option is defined in RFC2113 and was introduced by Cisco. While this option

is not part of the IGMP standard, most IGMP V2 implementations contain this

option. However, most implementations of IGMP V1 do not contain this

option. This parameter is defined to prevent possible conflicts in networks in
which a Cisco Router is configured as an IGMP V1 server.
This parameter assumes either of the following values:

1. YES
2. NO

If set to YES, the IP Module generates IGMP reports to join Multicast groups

as specifically required by some Cisco Router configurations.
If set to NO, the IP Module generates IGMP reports to join Multicast groups

as defined and implemented by most IGMP servers.

Modem as Client:
Unsolicited Report

Interval, sec

I

Configures the IP Module to generate unsolicited reports to join a Multicast
Group at specified time intervals. This value specifies the number of seconds

between unsolicited reports. A value of zero implies that no unsolicited

reports to join a Multicast group should be generated by the IP Module.
Each unsolicited report to join a Multicast group will use the version of the
IGMP protocol as specified by the IGMP Version used for Unsolicited

Reports option.
