Configuring a Multicast Rule
1 Go to Policy > VLANS > Add, or select a VLAN.
2 Click Add New Rule.
3 Configure the following parameters:
IP address Enter the multicast IP address for the trac destination.
CIDR Classless Inter-Domain Routing. An address aggregation scheme that uses supernet
addresses to represent multiple IP destinations.
Wireless
Replication
Enables the forwarding of multicast trac from a wireless client to other wireless clients. If
disabled, multicast trac from wireless clients is forwarded to wired clients only. Wireless
clients will not receive it.
Group Indicates the multicast group associated with the rule. Multicast is a communication
pattern in which a source host sends a message to a group of destination hosts.
Fabric Attach Topology
The Fabric Attach topology type allows an AP to attach to a Shortest Path Bridging (Fabric Connect)
Network. The client component on the AP communicates directly with the server on an edge switch (or
it can communicate with the server through a proxy) to allow the AP to request VLAN to I-SID
(backbone Service Identifier [IEEE 802.1 ah] mappings). The Fabric Attach topology type is similar to
B@AP with the added I-SID parameter. Fabric Attach can be configured on the ExtremeCloud
Appliance anywhere a B@AP topology can be configured.
Note
When Fabric Attach is configured, LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) is automatically
enabled on all APs associated with the topology. The setting cannot be disabled by users.
The switch requires that the VLAN/I-SID mapping is unique per port per switch, therefore only one AP
per switch port is allowed.
The ExtremeCloud Appliance enforces the unique VLAN/I-SID requirement for each Fabric Attach
topology. A single ExtremeCloud Appliance supports up to 94 VLAN/I-SID mappings. This is a limit of
LLDP.
