configure simulated joining with the igmp-snooping host-join command. In this case, the corresponding

multicast group will not be created based on the configured IGMP SSM mappings.
To configure an IGMP SSM mapping:

Step Command

Remarks

1.

Enter system view.

system-view

N/A

2.

Enter public network

IGMP view or VPN
instance IGMP view.

igmp [ vpn-instance vpn-instance-name ]

N/A

3.

Configure an IGMP SSM
mapping.

ssm-mapping group-address { mask |
mask-length
} source-address

No IGMP mappings are
configured by default.

Configuring IGMP proxying

Before you configure the IGMP proxying feature, complete the following tasks:

Configure any unicast routing protocol so that all devices in the domain are interoperable at the
network layer.

Enable IP multicast routing.

Enabling IGMP proxying

You can enable IGMP proxying on the interface in the direction toward the root of the multicast

forwarding tree to make the device serve as an IGMP proxy.

Configuration guidelines

Each device can have only one interface serving as the proxy interface. In scenarios with multiple

instances, IGMP proxying is configured on only one interface per instance.

You cannot enable IGMP on an interface with IGMP proxying enabled. Moreover, only the igmp
require-router-alert, igmp send-router-alert, and igmp version commands can take effect on such

an interface.

You cannot enable other multicast routing protocols (such as PIM-DM or PIM-SM) on an interface
with IGMP proxying enabled, or vice versa. However, the source-lifetime, source-policy, and
ssm-policy commands configured in PIM view can still take effect. In addition, in IGMPv1, the

designated router (DR) is elected by the working multicast routing protocol (such as PIM) to serve as

the IGMP querier. Therefore, a downstream interface running IGMPv1 cannot be elected as the DR

and thus cannot serve as the IGMP querier.

You cannot enable IGMP proxying on a VLAN interface with IGMP snooping enabled, or vice

versa.
