The higher the route cost, the lower the probability that the current route will be chosen to be
an active branch of the multicast delivery tree (not 'pruned') – if there is an alternative route.

Enabling DVMRP

DVMRP can be Enabled or Disabled, globally on the switch, using the DVMRP
Configuration link to open the DVMRP Global Setting page, as shown below.

DVMRP Interface Configuration

To view the DVMRP Interface Table, open the IP Multicasting folder under Configuration
and click DVMRP Interface Configuration. This menu allows the Distance-Vector
Multicast Routing Protocol (DVMRP) to be configured for each IP interface defined on the
switch. Each IP interface configured on the switch is displayed in the below DVMRP
Interface Configuration dialog box. To configure DVMRP for a particular interface, click
the corresponding hyperlink for that IP interface. This will open the DVMRP Interface
Configuration window:
