Configuring DVMRP

DVMRP is set on a single port or VLAN. In order for DVMRP parameters to take effect, you must configure DVMRP globally on a device before you configure the interface for DVMRP.

The Port dialog box opens with the DVMRP tab displayed.

Use the DVMRP tab to configure physical router interfaces or virtual router interfaces. The DVMRP tab has the same parameters for both ports or VLANs and the parameters function the same. Refer to for descriptions of the DVMRP tab items.

To open the DVMRP tab, do one of the following:

On a port, choose Edit > Port > DVMRP.
On a VLAN, choose VLAN > VLANs > Basic > IP > DVMRP.

To configure DVMRP on the interface:

Open the DVMRP tab.

Select Enable.

In the Metric text box, type the cost, or maximum number of hops, for DVMRP.

The range is 1 to 31 with a default of 1.

Click Apply.

The table below describes the DVMRP tab items.


Item	Description
