OSPF Interface Parameters
Parameter: Multicast Downstream IGMP Relay
Path: Configuration Manager > Protocols > IP > OSPF/MOSPF > Global
Default: Disabled
Options: Enabled
|
Disabled
Function: Specifies whether AS external routes are multicast capable. If you enable this
feature, the advertising ASBR sets the multicast bit in the ASE-LSAs for those
routes, so that they can be used for multicast purposes.
Instructions: By default, all external routes are multicast capable. However, if you know that
an ASBR’s external routes can be used for unicast only, you must set this
parameter to Disabled on the ASBR.
For example, consider two ASBRs -- ASBR1 and ASBR2 -- each with a BGP
connection to an ISP. You know that all multicast traffic should be injected into
the MOSPSF domain by ASBR2 because ASBR2 has a DVMRP tunnel to the
Mbone. To prevent ASBR1 from injecting multicast routes into the MOSPF
domain, you set this parameter to Disabled.
MIB Object ID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.5.3.2.3.1.30
Parameter: Multicast Forwarding
Path: Configuration Manager > Protocols > IP > OSPF/MOSPF > Interfaces
Default: Multicast
Options: Blocked

Multicast
|
Unicast
Function: Specifies the way multicasts should be forwarded on this interface: not
forwarded, forwarded as data link multicasts, or forwarded as data link
unicasts. Data link multicasting is not meaningful on point-to-point and
NBMA interfaces, and setting ospfMulticastForwarding to 0 effectively
disables all multicast forwarding.
Instructions: If you configured MOSPF globally, specify the way you want IP to forward
multicast packets on this interface.
