Multicast Filtering
A mechanism that supports multicast traffic can be enabled as part of a topology definition. This
mechanism is provided to support the demands of VoIP and IPTV network traffic, while still
providing the network access control.
Note:
To use the mobility feature with this topology, you must select the Enable Multicast Support checkbox for
the data port.
Define a list of multicast groups whose traffic is allowed to be forwarded to and from the VNS
using this topology. The default behavior is to drop the packets. For each group defined, you can
enable Multicast Replication by group.
Note:
Before enabling multicast filters and depending on the topology, you may need to define which physical
interface to use for multicast relay. Define the multicast port on the IP Addresses tab. For more information,
see “Setting Up the Data Ports” on page 2-14.
To Enable Multicast for a Topology:
1. On the Topologies page, click the Multicast Filters tab.
2. To enable the multicast function, select Multicast Support.
3. Define the multicast groups by selecting one of the radio buttons:
– IP Group — Type the IP address range.
– Defined groups — Click from the drop-down list.
