Chapter 38 Multicast VLAN

38.1 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.

38.2 Multicast VLAN Configuration Task List

1. Enable the multicast VLAN function

2. Configure the IGMP Snooping

3. Configure the MLD Snooping

1. Enable the multicast VLAN function

Command

Explanation

VLAN configuration mode

multicast-vlan

no multicast-vlan

Configure a VLAN and enable the multicast
VLAN on it. The “no multicast-vlan” command

disables the multicast function on the VLAN.

multicast-vlan association <vlan-list>

no multicast-vlan association <vlan-list>

Associate a multicast VLAN with several

VLANs. The no form of this command deletes

the related VLANs associated with the

multicast VLAN.

multicast-vlan association interface

(ethernet | port-channel|) IFNAME

no multicast-vlan association interface

(ethernet | port-channel|) IFNAME

Associate the specified port with the multicast

VLAN, so the associated ports are able to

receive the multicast flow. The no command

cancels the association between the ports and

the multicast VLAN.
