Quick Steps for Configuring DVMRP
Note. DVMRP requires that IP Multicast Switching (IPMS) is enabled. IPMS is automatically enabled
when a multicast routing protocol (either PIM-SM or DVMRP) is enabled globally and on an interface
and when the operational status of the interface is up. However, if you wish to manually enable IPMS on
the switch, use the ip multicast status command.
1 Manually load DVMRP into memory by entering the following command:
-> ip load dvmrp
2 Create a router port (i.e., interface) on an existing VLAN by specifying a valid IP address. To do this,
use the ip interface command. For example:
-> ip interface vlan-2 address 178.14.1.43 vlan 2
Note. The ip interface command is not supported in Release 5.3.1. For this release use the vlan router ip
command instead. See the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide for more information.
3 Enable the DVMRP protocol on the interface via the ip dvmrp interface command. For example:
-> ip dvmrp interface vlan-2
4 Globally enable the DVMRP protocol by entering the following command:
-> ip dvmrp status enable
5 Save your changes to the Working directory’s boot.cfg file by entering the following command:
-> write memory
Once loaded and enabled, DVMRP is typically ready to use because its default values are appropriate for
the majority of installations.
