Follow these steps to configure an interface as a statically connected member of a multicast

group or a multicast source and group:

Configure the interface as a

source-address ]

Required

An interface is not a static

member of any multicast group

or multicast source and group

by default.

z

Before you can configure an interface of a PIM-SM device 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 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, refer to PIM Configuration in the IP

Multicast Configuration Guide.

z

As a static member of a multicast group or a multicast source and group, the interface does

not respond to the queries from the IGMP querier, nor does it send an unsolicited IGMP

membership report or an IGMP leave group message when it joins or leaves a multicast

group or a multicast source and group. In other words, the interface will not become 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 matching the criteria.
