dvmrp enable interface

Purpose

Enables DVMRP on an interface.

Format

dvmrp enable interface <ipAddr/name>|<tunnel-name>

Mode

Configure

Description

The dvmrp enable interface command enables DVMRP on the specified interface.

Parameters

IP address or tunnel name of the interface on which you are enabling DVMRP.

• If you are enabling DVMRP on an interface that does not have a tunnel, specify its

name or IP address.

• If you are enabling DVMRP on an interface that has a tunnel, specify the tunnel

name.

Restrictions

Note:

The Control Module’s en0 interface is never used for multicast traffic.

DVMRP does not run on multiple IP subnets if created on an interface. Currently, the SSR

automatically picks up the first subnet to run DVMRP on it. However any one particular

subnet can be picked up by enabling it. But before doing that, no subnet should already be

enabled on that interface. The SSR supports a maximum of 64 DVMRP and IGMP

interfaces.

Note:

The igmp enable interface command has a similar restriction of using only one

subnet.
