6.8.4 Multicast filtering
A mechanism that supports multicast traffic can be enabled as part of a topoloty
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 Section 3.4.3,
“Setting up the data ports”, on page 54.
To enable multicast for a topology:
1. On the Topology page, click the Multicast Filters tab.
2. To enable the multicast function, select Enable 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.
4. Click Add. The group is added to the list above.
