cisco 2950 and multicasting

[ssphoenix]

I am in the process of ghosting a bunch of PCs. Recently I also replaced all my network switched with 2950s. While ghosting using multicasting the switches are going nuts.

The IGMP is enabled. What options do I have? I did one images so far. I can imagine doing 5 or 10 at the time. It will bring the network to a crawler.

Thanks

My first response to a thread, hope I have it right....

All of this can be done from a telnet session with the router.

Config example:

router# show ip interface brief

Interface IP-Address OK? Method Status Protocol
Ethernet0 255.255.2.1 YES NVRAM up up
Serial0 unassigned YES unset up up
Serial0.1 255.255.1.1 YES unset up up
Serial1 unassigned YES unset up up

router# configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

router(config)# interface Ethernet0
router(config-if)# ip directed-broadcast
router(config-if)# interface Serial0.1
router(config-subif)# ip directed-broadcast
router(config-subif)# ^Z
router# write
