DVMRP Interface Settings
This window allows the Distance-Vector Multicast Routing Protocol (DVMRP) to be configured for each IP interface defined on
the Switch. Each IP interface configured on the Switch is displayed in the below DVMRP Interface Settings window. To
configure DVMRP for a particular interface, click the corresponding hyperlink for that IP interface.
To view this Table, click L3 Features > IP Multicast Routing Protocol > DVMRP Interface Settings, as shown below:

The following fields can be set:
Parameter Description
Interface Name
Displays the name of the IP interface for which DVMRP is to be configured. This must be a
previously defined IP interface.
IP Address
Displays the IP address corresponding to the IP Interface name entered above.
Neighbor Timeout
(1-65535 sec)
This field allows an entry between 1 and 65,535 seconds and defines the time period DVMRP
will hold Neighbor Router reports before issuing poison route messages. The default is 35
seconds.
Probe Interval (1-
65535 sec)
This field allows an entry between 1 and 65,535 seconds and defines the interval between
‘probes’. The default is 10 seconds.
Metric (1-31)
This field allows an entry between 1 and 31 and defines the route cost for the IP interface.
The DVMRP route cost is a relative number that represents the real cost of using this route in
the construction of a multicast delivery tree. It is similar to, but not defined as, the hop count
in RIP. The default cost is 1.
State
This field can be toggled between Enabled and Disabled and enables or disables DVMRP for
the IP interface. The default is Disabled.
Click Apply to implement changes made. Click Show All DVMRP Interface Entries to return to the DVMRP Interface Settings
window.
