Video Bridged Help

Video bridging requires the following configuration steps:

1. Configure an uplink bridge in the Configuration / Video Bridged / Uplink Bridged screen: 2. Create multicast control lists in the Configuration / Advanced / Multicast Access Control screen.

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.

3. Create a downlink bridge in the Configuration / Video Bridged / Connections screen:

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.
