◆ Proxy Query Interval – Configures the interval at which the receiver port
sends out general queries. (Range: 2-31744 seconds; Default: 125 seconds)
â–
This parameter sets the general query interval at which active receiver
ports send out general queries.
â–
This interval is only effective when proxy switching is enabled.
◆ Source Port Mode – Configures the switch to forward any multicast streams
within the parameters set by a profile, or to only forward multicast streams
which the source port has dynamically joined.
â–
Always Forward – By default, the switch forwards any multicast streams
within the address range set by a profile, and bound to a domain. The
multicast streams are sent to all source ports on the switch and to all
receiver ports that have elected to receive data on that multicast address.
â–
Dynamic – When dynamic mode is enabled, the switch only forwards
multicast streams which the source port has dynamically joined. In other
words, both the receiver port and source port must subscribe to a multicast
group before a multicast stream is forwarded to any attached client. Note
that the requested streams are still restricted to the address range which
has been specified in a profile and bound to a domain.
