Configuring static ports

If all hosts attached to a port are interested in the multicast data addressed to a particular multicast group

or the multicast data that a particular multicast source sends to a particular group, you can configure a

static (*, G) or (S, G) entry for the port. That is, you configure the port as a static member port of the
specified group or the specified source and group.
You can also configure a port of the AC to be a static router port, through which the AC can forward all

the multicast traffic that it received.

Configuration guidelines

A static (S, G) entry for a port takes effect only if a valid multicast source address is specified and

IGMPv3 snooping is running on the AC.

A static member port does not respond to queries from the IGMP querier. When you configure a
port as a static member port or cancel this configuration on the port, the port does not send an

unsolicited IGMP report or an IGMP leave message.

Static member ports and static router ports never age out. To remove such a port, use the
corresponding undo command.

Configuration procedure

Use either approach.

3.

Configure the port as a
static member port.

igmp-snooping static-group
group-address [ source-ip

source-address ] vlan vlan-id

No static member ports exist by
default.

4.

Configure the port as a

static router port.

igmp-snooping static-router-port vlan
vlan-id

No static router ports exist by
default.

Configuring simulated joining

Generally, an IGMP-enabled host can respond to IGMP queries that the IGMP querier sends. If a host

fails to respond, the multicast router deems that no member of this multicast group exists on the network

segment, and removes the corresponding forwarding path.
