Figure 122 IP Configuration: DVMRP

The following table describes the labels in this screen.

18.5 DHCP

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol RFC 2131 and RFC 2132) allows individual
computers to obtain TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a server. You can configure the
switch as a DHCP server or disable it. When configured as a server, the switch provides the
TCP/IP configuration for the clients. If you disable the DHCP service, you must have another
DHCP server on your LAN, or else the computer must be manually configured.

LABEL

DESCRIPTION

Active

Select Active to enable DVMRP on the switch. You should do this if you want the switch to

act as a multicast router.

Threshold

Threshold is the maximum time to live (TTL) value. TTL is used to limit the scope of

multicasting. You should reduce this value if you do not wish to flood Layer 3 devices many

hops away with multicast traffic. This applies only to multicast traffic this switch sends out.

Index

Index is the DVMRP configuration for the IP routing domain defined under Network. The

maximum number of DVMRP configurations allowed is the maximum number of IP routing

domains allowed on the switch. See

Section 13.6 on page 116

for more information on IP

routing domains.

Network

This is the IP routing domain IP address and subnet mask you set up in IP Setup.

VID

DVMRP cannot be enabled on the same VLAN group across different IP routing domains,

that is, you cannot have duplicate VIDs for different DVMRP configurations.

Active

Select Yes to enable DVMRP on this IP routing domain. Select No to disable this feature.

Apply
