Enabling GMRP Forward-All Option
When you enable the GMRP forward-all option on a port, a copy of all multicast traffic registered on the
switch is forwarded to that port. We recommend enabling the forward-all option on any port connected
to a router. The forward-all option can also be used to forward all registered multicast traffic to a port
with a network analyzer or probe attached.
To forward a copy of all GMRP multicast packets registered on the switch to a port, perform this task in
privileged mode:
Task
Enable the GMRP forward-all option on a switch
port.
This example shows how to enable the GMRP forward-all option on port 1/1:
Console> (enable) set gmrp fwdall enable 1/1
GMRP Forward All groups option enabled on port 1/1.
Console> (enable)
Disabling GMRP Forward-All Option
To disable the GMRP forward-all option on a port, perform this task in privileged mode:
Task
Disable the GMRP forward-all option on a port.
This example shows how to disable the GMRP forward-all option on port 1/1:
Console> (enable) set gmrp fwdall disable 1/1
GMRP Forward All groups option disabled on port 1/1.
Console> (enable)
