Multicast Router Discovery field descriptions

Use the data in the following table to use the Multicast Router Discovery tab.

Name

Description

Interface

Shows the interface where IGMP is enabled.

MrdiscEnable

Enables (true) or disables (false) the router interface to listen for multicast router discovery messages to determine where to send multicast source data and IGMPv2 reports. If you enable snoop, you automatically enable multicast router discovery.

DiscoveredRouterPorts

Lists ports that the Multicast Router Discovery (MRDISC) protocol discovers.

Important:

The switch does not support the MRDISC protocol on brouter ports.

MaxAdvertiseInterval

Shows the maximum time allowed between sending router advertisements from the interface, in seconds. The range is from 2–180 seconds. The default is 20 seconds.

MinAdvertiseInterval

Shows the minimum time allowed between sending unsolicited router advertisements from the interface, in seconds. This value must be more than 3 seconds but no greater than the value assigned to the MaxAdvertiseInterval value.

MaxInitialAdvertiseInterval

Configures the maximum number (in seconds) of multicast advertisement intervals that you can configure on the switch.

MaxInitialAdvertisements

Configures the maximum number of initial multicast advertisements that you can configure on the switch.

NeighborDeadInterval

Shows the time interval (in seconds) before the router interface drops traffic after a user leaves the multicast group.
