Typically, you will have a Connection Profile that you created in Easy Setup. You may have more. Select the
Connection Profile that you want to use from the Display/Change Connection Profile menu, and then select IP
Profile Parameters.
Note: The Multicast Forwarding option is only visible in this screen if Multicast Forwarding is set to Tx in the
IP Setup menu. See “IP Setup” on page 7-1.
By default, Multicast Forwarding is turned off (None) on Connection Profiles until you enable a specific
Connection Profile to receive multicast data. You enable it by selecting Rx. from the pop-up menu.
Virtual Router Redundancy (VRRP)
Motorola Netopia® Embedded Software Version 8.7.4 offers Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP). A
Virtual Router is a software abstraction consisting of a group of two or more hardware routers protecting one or
more IP addresses. One of the routers is designated as the Master, while the others are backups. VRRP is a
protocol that provides redundancy to routers within a local area network by allowing alternate paths for a PC
without changing the IP address or MAC address by which the PC knows its gateway.
To configure Virtual Routers, from the IP Setup screen select VRRP Options and press Return.
The Ethernet LAN VRRP Options screen appears.
Each logical IP interface can have a maximum of two Virtual Routers.
