Assigning Ports to Multicast Services
Multicast filtering can be dynamically configured using IGMP Snooping
and IGMP Query messages as described in “Configuring IGMP Snooping
and Query Parameters” on page 16-4. For certain applications that require
tighter control, you may need to statically configure a multicast service on
the switch. First add all the ports attached to participating hosts to a
common VLAN, and then assign the multicast service to that VLAN
group.
Command Usage
• Static multicast addresses are never aged out.
• When a multicast address is assigned to an interface in a specific VLAN,
the corresponding traffic can only be forwarded to ports within that
VLAN.
Command Attributes
• Interface – Activates the Port or Trunk scroll down list.
• VLAN ID – Selects the VLAN to propagate all multicast traffic coming
from the attached multicast router/switch.
• Multicast IP – The IP address for a specific multicast service
• Port or Trunk – Specifies the interface attached to a multicast router/
switch.
