Video bridging requires the following configuration steps:
1. Configure an uplink bridge in the Configuration / Video Bridged / Uplink Bridged screen:Create a tagged uplink bridge on an uplink interface with a VLAN ID. Designating tagged will pass the VLAN ID up to the network.
Specifying a tagged interface sets the Strip And Insert and S-Tag StripAndInsert parameters to false. All packets with the specified VLAN ID will pass through the uplink interface to the network intact
Specifying uplink sets the Forward Via Multicast Paths parameter to true and the Multicast Address Learning parameter to false. The bridge is configured to send multicast packets to interfaces that send a JOIN request
Create the bridge path for the uplink bridge and enter the multicast aging period and the IGMP query interval.
In the Advanced / Multi Access Control screen, create a multicast control list to define which multicast addresses the remote-end video can access. Members of the multicast control list must be defined to receive the video signal.
Specify the Control ID and the start address
For the Control List Type, specify Normal for video.
Specify a VLAN ID, the maximum number of video streams and a multicast control list. Entering 0 for the multicast control list allows all IP multicasts. For GPON interfaces, you need to also create a GPON traffic profile.
Specifying downlink sets the Multicast Address Learning parameter to true and the Forward Via Multicast Paths parameter to false. When the Multicast Address Learning parameter is true, this allows multicast packets to pass to the subscriber after a JOIN request is sent.
Specifying tagged sets the stripAndInsert parameter to false causing the VLAN ID to pass to the downstream device.
You can modify the default settings if advanced options such as option82 and ForbidOUI are required. It is recommended you build these filters first.
