Configuring static joining

After an interface is configured as a static member of a multicast group or a multicast source group, it will

act as a virtual member of the multicast group to receive multicast data addressed to that multicast group

for the purpose of testing multicast data forwarding.

Configuration guidelines

If you want to configure an interface that is IGMP and PIM-SM enabled as a static member of a

multicast group or a multicast source and group, the interface must be a PIM-SM DR. If this interface

is IGMP enabled but not PIM-SM enabled, it must be an IGMP querier. For more information about

PIM-SM and a DR, see "Configuring PIM."

A static member port does not respond to queries from the IGMP querier. When you configure a

port as a static member port or remove this configuration on the port, the port does not unsolicitedly
send any IGMP report or IGMP leave message. In other words, the port is not a real member of the

multicast group or the multicast source and group.

Configuration procedure

To configure an interface as a statically connected member of a multicast group or a multicast source and

group:

Step

Command

Remarks

1.

Enter system view.

system-view

N/A

2.

Enter interface view.

interface interface-type
interface-number

N/A

3.

Configure the interface as a
static member of a multicast

group or a multicast source
and group.

igmp static-group group-address
[ source source-address ]

An interface is not a static member
of any multicast group or multicast
source and group by default.

Configuring a multicast group filter

To restrict the hosts on the network attached to an interface from joining certain multicast groups, you can

set an ACL rule on the interface as a packet filter so that the interface maintains only the multicast groups

the match the criteria.
To configure a multicast group filter:

Step

Command

Remarks

1.

Enter system view.

N/A

2.

Enter interface view.

interface interface-type
interface-number

N/A

3.

Configure a multicast group
filter.

igmp group-policy acl-number
[ version-number ]

By default, no multicast group filter
is configured on this interface.
Hosts on the current interface can

join any valid multicast group.
