Default Values

By default, this command is disabled.

Applicable Platforms

This command applies to the NetVanta 300, 1000R, 2000, 3000, 4000, and 5000 and Total Access 900
Series units.

Command History

Release 7.1

Command was introduced.

Functional Notes

This command is used in IP multicast stub applications in conjunction with the ip mcast-stub
helper-address
and ip mcast-stub upstream commands. Downstream interfaces connect to segments
with multicast hosts. Multiple interfaces may be configured in downstream mode; however, interfaces
connecting to the multicast network (upstream) should not be configured in downstream mode. Interfaces
configured as downstream should have the lowest IP address of all IGMP-capable routers on the
connected segment in order to be selected as the designated router and ensure proper forwarding.

Usage Examples

The following example enables multicast forwarding and IGMP on the interface:

(config)#interface loopback 1

(config-loop 1)#ip mcast-stub downstream
