To prevent the SSR from forwarding any data destined to a scoped group on an interface,
enter the following command in the Configure mode:
Configuring a DVMRP Tunnel
The SSR supports DVMRP tunnels to the MBONE (the multicast backbone of the
Internet). You can configure a DVMRP tunnel on a router if the other end is running
DVMRP. The SSR then sends and receives multicast packets over the tunnel. Tunnels are
CPU-intensive; they are not switched directly through the SSR’s multitasking ASICs.
DVMRP tunnels need to be created before being enabled. Tunnels are recognized by the
tunnel name. Once a DVMRP tunnel is created, you can enable DVMRP on the interface.
The SSR supports a maximum of eight tunnels.
To configure a DVMRP tunnel, enter the following command in Configure mode:
You can also control the rate of DVMRP traffic in a DVMRP tunnel. The default rate is 500
Kbps.
To control the rate of DVMRP traffic, enter the following command in Configure mode:
Monitoring IGMP & DVMRP
You can monitor IGMP and DVMRP information on the SSR.
To display IGMP and DVMRP information, enter the following commands in the Enable
mode.
