swL3ospfIfMulticastForwarding

Module: DES6500-SWL3MGMT-MIB

OID (symbolic): DES6500-SWL3MGMT-MIB::swL3ospfIfMulticastForwarding

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.171.11.78.1.3.8.1.16

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 swL3ospfIfMulticastForwarding?

Selects how multicasts are forwarded on this OSPF interface: blocked(1) to disable multicast forwarding entirely, multicast(2) to use data-link multicast addressing, or unicast(3) to send a separate unicast copy to each OSPF neighbor. Point-to-point and NBMA interfaces don't use data-link multicasting meaningfully, so blocked(1) effectively disables multicast forwarding on those interface types.
