Hello Ruhann,
Here is the link from the doc CD (watch the ugly word wrap):
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/ipmulti/command/reference/imc_04.html#wp1011911
ip multicast ttl-threshold xyz
If the interface should NOT forward anything less than 13, then I would
think this command applies, and the value should be listed as 13.
Would appreciate your thoughts and comments as this is how I interpret the
question. HTH,
Andrew Lee Lissitz
