8.2.6 Setting GMRP
Operation
Settings per Port (Table)
Select the Switching:Multicasts:GMRP dialog.
The “Operation” frame allows you to enable GMRP globally for the
entire device.
It GMRP is disabled, then
X the device does not generate any GMRP packets,
X does not evaluate any GMRP packets received, and
X sends (floods) received data packets to all ports.
The device is transparent for received GMRP packets, regardless of the
GMRP setting.
X „GMRP”
This table column enables you to enable/disable the GMRP for each
port when the GMRP is enabled globally. When you switch off the
GMRP at a port, no registrations can be made for this port, and
GMRP packets cannot be forwarded at this port.
X “GMRP Service Requirement”
Devices that do not support GMRP can be integrated into the
Multicast addressing by means of
X a static filter address entry on the connecting port.
X selecting “Forward all groups” in the table column “GMRP
Service Requirement”. The device enters ports with the selection
“Forward all groups” in all Multicast filter entries learned via
GMRP.
