Multicast Global Configurations

The Multicast Global Configurations screen is only for globally enabling or disabling the multicast
routing protocols on the switch. Each VLAN or IP Interface uses these global values unless you
configured it to use specialized settings. The protocol must be enabled globally before you can
enable it on a specific VLAN or IP interface. (RIP is globally set up with the RIP Configuration
option.)

To configure globally the multicast protocols

1. In the left panel, click Layer 3 IP Networking.

2. In the top panel under IP Multicast Routing Protocols, click Multicast Global

Configurations.

3. Configure these fields.

4. Click Apply. Each protocol has a corresponding configuration form.

RIP packets. This field toggles between Disabled, V1 Only, V2 Only, and V1
