Before enabling the multicast function of DLSw v2.0, you first need to configure
the multicast function of the router and the local DLSw peer. DLSw v2.0 multicast
must be enabled before the origin DLSw v2.0 router can multicast SOCKET
messages (with explorer frames encapsulated) to a specific multicast address, so
that all target DLSw routers listening to the multicast address can receive the
SOCKET messages and get the explorer frames.
Follow these steps to enable the multicast function of DLSw v2.0:
To do...
Enter system view
Enable the multicast function
of DLSw v2.0
CAUTION:
By default, the DLSw multicast function is disabled on devices running DLSw
■
v2.0. To enable this function, use the dlsw multicast command.
Before you can enable the DLSw multicast function, you need to configure the
■
outbound multicast interface specified with interface interface-type
interface-number in the above-mentioned command on the same interface as
the local DLSw peer.
Before the DLSw multicast can be enabled, you need to carry out the related
■
multicast command first.
Each time the origin DLSw v2.0 router sends an explorer frame in a UDP multicast,
it starts an explorer timer. If no response is received before the explorer timer times
out, the router retransmits the explorer frame and resets the explorer timer. This
process continues until a response is received or the maximum number of explorer
transmission retries is reached.
Follow these steps to configure the maximum of explorer transmission retries:
