Routing Multicast Between VLANs

[jvantuyl01]

Hello all!

I have the following setup for VoIP at my place of business (educational):

1 - UC520 (VLAN 100)

1 - ESW-48P PoE Switch (VLAN 100)

1 - ESW-24P PoE Switch (VLAN 100)

24 SPA502G Phones (VLAN 100)

1 Valcom SIP IP Speaker - VIP-410 (VLAN 1)

1 Valcom SIP IP Speaker - VIP-130L (VLAN 1)

Server paging both UC520 Extensions and Multicast Addresses (VLAN 1)

What I have is a VoIP infastructure that operates on the default VLAN of 100. I also have a data infastructure that operates on the default VLAN of 1.

I have a server that is paging 2 ways - one through SIP and one through Multicast.

What I need to do is route the multicast address (239.1.1.10 port 2000) from VLAN 100 to VLAN 1 through my Cisco ESW switches.

Anyone have experience with this?

Jonah,

I am afraid this cannot be done satisfactorily with the switches you currently have. The ESW switches, according to the datasheet I have been able to see, are Layer2 switches only and do not support any form of routing, neither unicast nor multicast.

I am sorry but I personally do not see any way how to perform multicast routing using only the devices you currently have.

Best regards,

Peter

Is there no way to do this through the Multicast settings under VLAN and Port Settings?

Also, as an alternative, I could do this through the UC520 if possible.
