X GMRP per Port
This table column enables you to enable/disable the GMRP for each
port when the global GMRP is enabled. When you disable the
GMRP at a port, no registrations can be made for this port, and
GMRP packets cannot be sent out of this port.
X GMRP Service Requirements
Devices that do not support GMRP can be integrated into the Multi-
cast addressing by means of
X a static filter address entry on the connecting port
X selecting "Forward all groups" in the table column "GMRP Ser-
vice Requirement". The Switch enters ports with the selection
"Forward all groups" in all Multicast filter entries learned via GM-
RP.
Note: If the Switch is connected to a HIPER-Ring, in the case of a ring
interruption you can ensure quick reconfiguration of the network for data
packets with registered Multicast destination addresses by:
X enabling IGMP on the ring ports and globally, and
X enabling "IGMP Forward All" per port on the ring ports
or
X enabling GMRP on the ring ports and globally, and
X enabling "Forward all groups" on the ring ports.
