    Looking for documentation on what we need to change on our network to get Multicasting to work?

    Mike,

    Have a look at Multicasting white paper article.

    Please let us how it works for you.

    This is good for setting up multicasting in DS 7.5 but do you have any white papers on hardware setup on the network?

    Hi mikeb90,

    Our experience of multicasting is that you can come a cropper when the endpoints are hung off cheap switches. The lower end of the hardware market has a higher chance of not supporting IGMP snooping. This feature is required to ensure multicast traffic can pass the hardware boundary.

    I've not seen a whitepaper on this and not sure there is one as the advice is simply to have enabled IGMP.

    In summary, make sure that if clients in a  multicast group are likely to cross switches that IGMP snooping is enabled on those switches.

    Kind Regards,
    Ian./
