Switching
Parameter
Meaning
Send to query and
The device sends the packets with a
registered ports
known MAC/IP Multicast address to all
query ports and to registered ports.
This standard setting sends all Multi-
casts to all query ports and to regis-
tered ports. The advantage of this is
that it works in most applications with-
out any additional configuration.
Application:
"Flood and Prune" routing in PIM-DM.
Send to registered
The device sends the packets with a
ports
known MAC/IP Multicast address to
registered ports. The advantage of this
setting, which deviates from the stan-
dard, is that it uses the available band-
width optimally through direct
distribution. It requires additional port
settings.
Application:
Routing protocol PIM-SM.
