Module: BAS-OSPF-MIB

OID (symbolic): BAS-OSPF-MIB::basOspfIfMulticastForwarding

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.3493.2.7.7.1.7.1.18

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-create

Description: The way multicasts should forwarded on this interface; not forwarded, forwarded as data link multicasts, or forwarded as data link uni- casts. Data link multicasting is not meaning- ful on point to point and NBMA interfaces, and setting ospfMulticastForwarding to 0 effective- ly disables all multicast forwarding.

What is basOspfIfMulticastForwarding?

This read-create setting controls how the router forwards multicast traffic out this interface: 'blocked' disables multicast forwarding, 'multicast' forwards using data-link multicast addressing, and 'unicast' forwards a separate unicast copy to each OSPF neighbor. It defaults to blocked, and data-link multicasting isn't meaningful on point-to-point or NBMA interfaces anyway.
