Integer32

read-write

A bit mask indicating whether the router is

forwarding IP multicast (Class D) datagrams

based on the algorithms defined in the

multicast extensions to OSPF.

Bit 0, if set, indicates that the router can

forward IP multicast datagrams in the router's

directly attached areas (called intra-area

multicast routing).

Bit 1, if set, indicates that the router can

forward IP multicast datagrams between OSPF

areas (called inter-area multicast routing).

Bit 2, if set, indicates that the router can

forward IP multicast datagrams between

Autonomous Systems (called inter-AS multicast

routing).

Only certain combinations of bit settings are

allowed, namely: 0 (no multicast forwarding is

enabled), 1 (intra-area multicasting only), 3

(intra-area and inter-area multicasting), 5

(intra-area and inter-AS multicasting), and 7

(multicasting everywhere). By default, no

multicast forwarding is enabled.

This object is persistent and when written

the entity SHOULD save the change to non-volatile

storage.

The actually supported access is read-only.
