Chapter 30 Multicast VLAN

30.1 Introductions to Multicast VLAN

Based on current multicast order method, when orders from users in different VLAN, each

VLAN will copy a multicast traffic in this VLAN, which is a great waste of the bandwidth. By

configuration of the multicast VLAN, we add the switch port to the multicast VLAN, with the

IGMP Snooping/MLD Snooping functions enabled, users from different VLAN will share the

same multicast VLAN. The multicast traffic only exists within a multicast VLAN, so the

bandwidth is saved. As the multicast VLAN is absolutely separated from the user VLAN,

security and bandwidth concerns can be met at the same time, after the multicast VLAN is

configured, the multicast traffic will be continuously sent to the users.
