Multicast

Multicast
Many videoconferencing and other streaming applications send multicast
messages. Multicasting allows multiple hosts to receive messages without
broadcasting the message to an entire network or set of networks. Routers
can run Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) to keep track of which
hosts should receive which multicasts.
The ProCurve Secure Router supports IGMP proxy. The router runs IGMP and
listens for hosts joining multicast groups. IGMP proxy allows the router to
forward these messages to a multicast source. In effect, the router joins the
multicast groups on behalf of its hosts. It then receive multicasts from a
multicast source and can forward them to the hosts.
The ProCurve Secure Router also supports multicast routing with Protocol
Independent Multicast-Sparse Mode (PIM-SM).
You must configure multicast support through the CLI. See Chapter 10:
Configuring Multicast Support for a Stub Network and Chapter 11: Config-
uring Multicast Support with PIM-SM.

Configuring LLDP

Devices in a Data Link Layer network exchange Link Layer Discovery Protocol
(LLDP) messages. These messages contain information about the transmitting
device.
In the Web browser interface, you can easily:
set LLDP timers
enable and disable LLDP on an interface
view LLDP neighbors
However, you cannot prevent an interface from transmitting only certain
LLDP messages. You must perform this task in the CLI.
A useful feature of the Web browser interface is that you can immediately
access LLDP neighbors through a Web or Telnet session.
