  1. stream has been limited to a maximum hop of one (1) to ensure that it will not travel off the local MoH server’s subnet and across the WAN.

  2. Correct:
    If local devices are to use this multicast source and are on a different vlan to the Server set to 2.

    1. IMHO correct is C
      If you set Max Hops to 2 what will happend? Defualt gateway for CUCM change TTL from 2 to 1… next SRST router change TTL from 1 to 0 and drop this packet… MOH doesn’t reach IP Phones in Branch…
      If you set Max Hops to 3 SRST gateway change TTL from 2 to 1 and doesn’t drop this packet…

      1. OK… I was wrong… MaxHop is not exactly the same as TTL… so… Correct is B
        “The Max Hops field in the Music On Hold (MoH) Server Configuration window indicates the maximum number of routers that an audio source is allowed to cross. If max hops is set to zero, the audio source must remain in its own subnet. If max hops is set to one, the audio source can cross up to one router to the next subnet. Cisco recommends setting max hops to two.”
