Multicast for a WM-AD
A mechanism that supports multicast traffic can be enabled as part of a WM-AD definition. This is
provided to support the demands of VoIP and IPTV network traffic, while still providing the network
access control.
In the Multicast screen, you define a list of multicast groups whose traffic is allowed to be forwarded to
and from the WM-AD. The default behavior is to drop the packets. For each group defined, you can
enable Multicast Replication by group.
1 In the WM Access Domain Configuration screen, highlight the WM-AD name and click on the
Multicast tab. The Multicast screen for this WM-AD appears.
2 To enable the multicast function, click the Enable Multicast Support checkbox on.
3 Define the multicast groups by clicking one of the radio buttons:
● IP Group: Key in the IP address range
● Defined groups: select from the drop-down list.
4 Click on the Add button. The group appears in the list above.
5 To enable the defined multicast replication for this group, click the Wireless Replication checkbox
on.
6 To modify the priority of the multicast groups, highlight the group row and click the Up or Down
buttons.
7 A “Deny all” rule is automatically added as the last rule (IP = *.*.*.* and the Replication box left
unchecked). This ensures that all other traffic is dropped.
8 To save these settings, click on the Save button.
