A mechanism that supports multicast traffic can be enabled as part of a topology definition. This mechanism is provided to support the demands of VoIP and IPTV network traffic, while still providing the network access control.
Note
To use the mobility feature with this topology, you must select the Enable Multicast Support checkbox for the data port.Define a list of multicast groups whose traffic is allowed to be forwarded to and from the VNS using this topology. The default behavior is to drop the packets. For each group defined, you can enable Multicast Replication by group.
Note
Before enabling multicast filters and depending on the topology, you may need to define which physical interface to use for multicast relay. Define the multicast port on the IP Addresses tab. For more information, see Setting Up the Data Ports.Note
IPv6 traffic is supported for B@AC and B@AP topologies.Note
Wireless replication takes effect only when Multicast Address is allowed.A Deny All rule is automatically added as the last rule, IP = *.*.*.* and the Wireless Replication checkbox is not selected. This rule ensures that all other traffic is dropped.
Note
The multicast packet size should not exceed 1450 bytes.
