Web Agent Procedure

To modify a DMVRP interface using the Web Agent:

  1. Select Interfaces from the Routing > DVMRP group of the Web Agent window. The DVMRP Interfaces dialog box opens (see Figure 12-19).

Figure 12-19. DVMRP Interfaces Dialog Box

NOTE: You must first set “multicast protocol” on an interface to DVMRP before you can configure DVMRP. See Displaying Existing IP Interfaces, earlier in this chapter, and enable a multicast protocol for this interface.

  1. See Table 12-10 to complete your DVMRP configuration:
    Table 12-10. DVMRP Interface Parameters
    Parameter
    Defines the...
    Select
    Select a DVMRP interface that you want to configure.
    Interface
    Displays the Interface that is configured with the DVMRP multicast protocol.
    IP Address
    Displays the IP address of each interface. You cannot modify this field.
    IP Address Mask
    Displays the Subnet mask for each interface. You cannot modify this field.
    Interface Type
    Select an Interface type. You can configure the interface type as:
    • Broadcast - All traffic is forwarded through the routers. This is not a tunnel and does not require encapsulation.
    • Non-Encapsulated Tunnel - All multicast data traffic is IPIP encapsulated, but the protocol messages are unicast.
    • IPIP Tunnel - All multicast traffic (data and protocol messages) are encapsulated in IP unicast packets with the protocol set to IPIP (IP in IP).
    Tunnel Endpoint Address
    Displays the Tunnel endpoint IP address of a router. You can modify this setting to represent the end router IP address to which you want to send datagrams through a tunnel. The origin and endpoint routers are separated by a gateway(s) or a router(s) that do not support DVMRP.
    Interface Metric
    Displays the Cost metric for the interface.
    The valid range for this field is 1 to 31. The default setting is 1.
    Src Host Addr in Prune Msg
    Select Disable to send prune messages with only the subnet portion of the source address.
    The default is Enable (sends prune messages with the full source host address).
    Interface Scope
    Select the minimum TTL (time-to-live) required for a packet to leave this interface. The options are None, 127, and 255.

  2. Click APPLY to save your changes, or CANCEL to restore previous settings.
