Chapter 5 ’Frequently Asked Questions’ — When I turn off my equipment the sessions
Amethyst III DTV Smart Switch 189
User Manual
When I turn off my equipment the sessions stop to be
broadcast from Eth1 to Eth2, what should I do?
Check that you have correctly enabled the bypass between the Gigabit
Ethernet interfaces (Ethernet 1 <-> Ethernet 2).
Check in the configuration of the TS over IP input on Ethernet 1. If
IGMPv2 is activated, check that the final TS over IP session receiver
sends IGMP requests that will replace the IGMP requests that are sent
by Amethyst III when it is on.
If you do not want Amethyst III to send IGMP requests, you can
disable
them in the TS over IP input and create forwarding rules that will transfer
the original request between the associated ports.
For instance, if you want to forward the IGMP request between Ethernet 1
and
Ethernet 2, you can add rules as shown in
Figure 5-1
.
