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.
Follow these steps to configure an interface as a statically connected member of a multicast group or a
multicast source and group:

Use the command...

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 ]

Required
An interface is not a static member
of any multicast group or multicast

source and group by default.

NOTE:

Before you can configure an interface of a PIM-SM switch as a static member of a multicast group or a
multicast source and group, if the interface is PIM-SM enabled, it must be a PIM-SM DR. If the interface

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

PIM-SM and DR, see the chapter “PIM configuration.”

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.

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.
Follow these steps to configure a multicast group filter:
