  1. To modify your DVMRP Route table, do one of the following:
  2. See Table 12-23 for an explanation of the DVMRP Route Table parameters:
    Table 12-23. DVMRP Route Table Parameters
    Parameter
    Defines the...
    Source Network
    Network from which a multicast flow may originate.
    Source Network Mask
    Source network mask.
    Reporting Router
    IP address of the router reporting this route to its neighbors.
    Reporting Router Interface
    IP interface configured, which leads to the upstream neighbor (DVMRP router).
    Route Metric
    Router’s cost to source network.
    Expiration Period in (sec)
    Time (in seconds) remaining before the source network is removed from the DVMRP routing table.
    Upstream Router(s)
    IP address of the DVMRP router that is the upstream neighbor to the local router. The local DVMRP router must know which DVMRP router is its upstream neighbor to determine how packets from a given source will be transmitted to a given multicast group. Opens DVMRP Upstream Router(s) dialog box.
    Designated Forwarder(s)
    Network router(s) responsible for forwarding from the source network onto the downstream interface. Opens the Designated Forwarders dialog box.
    Downstream Dependent Router(s)
