Example #2: View IGMP Proxy Configuration Data
You can use various commands from Privileged EXEC or User EXEC modes to show IGMP proxy
configuration data.
• Use the following command to display a summary of the host interface status parameters. It displays
the parameters only when IGMP Proxy is enabled.
console#show ip igmp-proxy
Interface Index................................ vlan 15
Admin Mode..................................... Enabled
Operational Mode............................... Disabled

DVMRP

The Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol (DVMRP) is one of several multicast routing protocols
you can configure on the switch (PIM-SM and PIM-DM are the others). Note that only one multicast
routing protocol (MRP) can be operational on a router at any time.
DVMRP is an interior gateway protocol; i.e., it is suitable for use within an autonomous system, but not
between different autonomous systems.
DVMRP is based on RIP: it forwards multicast datagrams to other routers in the AS and constructs a
forwarding table based on information it learns in response. More specifically, it uses this sequence.
• A new multicast packet is forwarded to the entire multicast network, with respect to the time-to-live
(TTL) of the packet.
• The TTL restricts the area to be flooded by the message.
• All routers that do not have members on directly-attached subnetworks send back
the upstream router.
• The branches that transmit a prune message are deleted from the delivery tree.
• The delivery tree which is spanning to all the members in the multicast group, is constructed in the
form of a DVMRP forwarding table.
