5.3.4 Configuration Guidelines
In Figure 5-1, there are interfaces that are configured to support MC traffic. The options used depend on the
place of the interface in the network and how MC traffic is to be handled. The two options that work together
are:
• DIRECTION -
• NETWORK - The SBx3112 interface is to another system and so traffic must be further processed
before going to a customer/subscriber.
• CUSTOMER - The interface is to a device that handles the incoming subscriber traffic.
• SNOOPINGMODE - How IMGP packets will be handled:
