Configuring multicast source port filtering

When the multicast source port filtering feature is enabled on a port, the port can connect to only

multicast receivers rather than to multicast sources, because the port blocks all multicast data packets but

it permits multicast protocol packets to pass.
If this feature is disabled on a port, the port can connect to both multicast sources and multicast receivers.

Configuring multicast source port filtering globally

Follow these steps to configure multicast source port filtering globally:

To do...

Use the command...

Remarks

Enter system view

system-view

Enter IGMP-snooping view

igmp-snooping

Enable multicast source port
filtering

source-deny port interface-list

Required
Disabled by default.

Configuring multicast source port filtering on a port or a group of ports

Follow these steps to configure multicast source port filtering on a port or a group of ports:

To do...

Use the command...

Remarks

Enter system view

system-view

Enter Layer 2 Ethernet interface
view:
interface interface-type

port-group-name

Required
Use either command

Enable multicast source port
filtering

igmp-snooping source-deny

Required
Disabled by default.

Configuring the function of dropping unknown multicast data

Unknown multicast data refers to multicast data for which no entries exist in the IGMP snooping

forwarding table. When the switch receives such multicast traffic, the switch floods unknown multicast

data in the VLAN that the unknown multicast data belongs to, causing network bandwidth waste and low

forwarding efficiency.
