Forwarding from an MBONE router on a WAN link
Figure 10-2 shows a multicast router on the WAN with local and dial-in multicast clients. This
example presents a sample configuration for the local MAX unit in the figure. The
configuration specifies the MBONE interface as a WAN link accessed through a Connection
profile # 4.

Note: This example does not use heartbeat monitoring. If you want to configure the MAX for
heartbeat monitoring, see the sample settings in “Examples of multicast forwarding
configuration” on page 10-5.
