Multicast Global Configurations
The Multicast Global Configurations screen is only for globally enabling or disabling the multicast
routing protocols on the switch. Each VLAN or IP Interface uses these global values unless you
configured it to use specialized settings. The protocol must be enabled globally before you can
enable it on a specific VLAN or IP interface. (RIP is globally set up with the RIP Configuration
option.)
To configure globally the multicast protocols
1. In the left panel, click Layer 3 IP Networking.
2. In the top panel under IP Multicast Routing Protocols, click Multicast Global
Configurations.
3. Configure these fields.
4. Click Apply. Each protocol has a corresponding configuration form.
Field Description
Tx Mode
Specifies which version of the RIP protocol will be used to transmit RIP
packets. This field toggles between Disabled, V1 Only, V1 Compatible, and
V2 Only. Disabled prevents the transmission of RIP packets.
Rx Mode
Specifies which version of the RIP protocol will be used to interpret received
RIP packets. This field toggles between Disabled, V1 Only, V2 Only, and V1
and V2. Disabled prevents the reception of RIP packets.
Authentication.
Enables or disables authentication between routers. When authentication is
enabled, a password is used to authenticate communication between

Compatible or V2 mode.
Password
