Chapter 4: Networks
Enter the IP address of the gateway through which traffic is routed to the destination
4.
network in the Route Gateway field. This gateway must be on the same subnet as the
IP address of the specified Interface.
Enter a bit mask that specifies the bits in the IP address that correspond to the network
5.
address and to the subnet portion of the destination network IP address.
Specify the BSC interface through which traffic is routed to the destination network.
6.
For outbound traffic out the Admin interface, select Admin.
Click Save to store the static route settings to the BSC database.
7.
You may be prompted to restart the BSC. We recommend that you do not restart the
BSC until you have completely finished configuring the BSC for use in your network.
When you create an Admin interface route it will always appear highlighted in
yellow, as shown in Figure 4-23. This means that the routing is done in a separate
table, and is only used for traffic originating at the BSC. No traffic from clients will
reach the Admin interface, even if it is designated for that IP range.
Configuring Multicast Routing
You may configure the BSC to support multicast routing using Distance Vector Multicast
Routing Protocol (DVMRP) or Protocol Independent Multicast-Sparse Mode (PIM-SM).
You must enable multicast on two BSC network interfaces before configuring multicast
routing support.
To enable the BSC to route multicast traffic:
Click the Network tab in the BSC administrator console, and then click the Multicast
1.
tab on the Network page.
The Edit Multicast settings page appears as shown in Figure 4-24.
2.
Mark the radio button identifying the multicast protocol you wish to support:
•
•
Enter address of the multicast group to which clients join to receive the multicast data
3.
in the Group address field.
The multicast group address should be a Class D IP address in the range 224.0.0.0
through 239.255.255.255.
Enter a network mask for the entered group address in the Netmask field.
4.
When configuring the BSC to support PIM-SM, enter the IP address of the
5.
Rendezvous Point in the RP address field.
The Rendezvous Point maintains a table of multicast sources and group information.
