350 Adding a Local Host
If no local hosts have been configured, add hosts as needed. For more information, refer to Section10.6.2,
“Adding a Local Host”.
Section10.6.2
Adding a Local Host
To add a local host for a serial port using the raw socket protocol, do the following:
NOTE
A maximum of two multicast local host entries are permitted per serial interface.
1. Make sure the CLI is in Configuration mode.
2. Add the local host by typing:
interface serial slot port protocols rawsocket setrawsocket local-host address
Where:
• slot is the name of the module location
• port is the port number (or a list of ports, if aggregated in a port trunk) for the module
• address is a multicast group IP address for which the interface is a sink
NOTE
When a local host is added, either loopback must be enabled or a local host interface must be
added.
3. If a local host interface is required, proceed to Step 4. Otherwise, select Loopback to enable the local host to
receive data from a loopback interface.
The loopback interface must have the same source multicast group IP address and local port number as the
serial port. A matching remote host with loopback enabled must also be configured.
4. [Optional] Add a local host interface. For more information, refer to Section10.8.2, “Adding a Local Host
Interface”.
5. Type commit and press Enter to save the changes, or type revert and press Enter to abort.
Section10.6.3
Deleting a Local Host

1. Make sure the CLI is in Configuration mode.
2. Delete the local host by typing:

Where:
• slot is the name of the module location
• port is the port number (or a list of ports, if aggregated in a port trunk) for the module
• address is the IP address for the local host
