Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol (DVMRP) uses IP packets with protocol type 2 (IGMP) to exchange routing datagrams. DVMRP enables multicast routers to exchange distance vector updates that contain multicast flow lists and their corresponding cost metrics. DVMRP may use tunneling between pairs of DVMRP routers when traffic must pass through one or more intermediary routers or gateways that do not implement DVMRP.This implementation adheres to the specification for DVMRP V3.
You can configure DVMRP Globally using either the Web Agent or the CLI.
Note: When processing heavy traffic, the switch may lose a small number of DVMRP neighbor-to-neighbor probe messages. The loss of these messages may cause multicast routing to become unstable.
