8-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch User's Guide • Route Metric:[1 ] - This field allows an entry between 1 and 255 and defines the route cost for the IP interface. The DVMRP route metric is a relative number that represents the real cost of using this route in the construction of a multicast delivery tree. It is similar to, but not defined as, the hop count in RIP. The default cost is 1. Note: Route metric is a relative number that is used by DVMRP to calculate which branches of a multicast delivery tree should be 'pruned'. Note: The higher the route cost, the lower the probability that the current route will be chosen to be an active branch of the multicast delivery tree (not 'pruned') - if there is an alternative route. • Probe Interval:[10 ] - This field allows an entry between 0 and 65,535 seconds and defines the interval between 'probes'. The default is 10. DVMRP defines an extension to IGMP that allows routers to query other routers to determine if a multicast group is present on an given IP interface or not. • State: - Toggle between Enabled and Disabled to enable or disable DVMRP for the IP interface. The default is Disabled. • Include Unknown Neighbor Report: - Allows the Layer 3 switch to accept a DVMRP route report from a non-adjacent neighbor. PIM-DM Interface Configuration To configure PIMDM for an IP interface: Highlight PIMDM Interface Configuration from the IP Multicasting Settings menu and press Enter. Figure 6-45. PIM-DM Interface Configuration screen • Interface Name:[ ] - Enter the name of the IP interface for which PIM-DM is to be configured in this field. This must be a previously defined IP interface. See Setting up IP Interfaces in Chapter 6 of this manual for more information. 97
