Configuring IGMP Snooping

Configuring a Multicast Router Port

To add a multicast router port (add a static connection to a multicast router), use the ip igmp snooping
vlan mrouter
global configuration command on the switch.

Note

Static connections to multicast routers are supported only on switch ports.

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to enable a static connection to a multicast
router:

To remove a multicast router port from the VLAN, use the no ip igmp snooping vlan vlan-id mrouter
interface
interface-id global configuration command.

This example shows how to enable a static connection to a multicast router:

Switch# configure terminal

Switch(config)# ip igmp snooping vlan 200 mrouter interface gigabitethernet0/2

Switch(config)# end

Configuring a Blade Server Statically to Join a Group

Blade servers that are connected to Layer 2 ports normally join multicast groups dynamically. You can
also statically configure a Layer 2 port, to which a blade server is connected, so that the port joins a
multicast group.

Command

Purpose

Step 1

configure terminal

Enter global configuration mode.

Step 2

ip igmp snooping vlan vlan-id mrouter
interface
interface-id

Specify the multicast router VLAN ID and the interface to the
multicast router.

The VLAN ID range is 1 to 1001 and 1006 to 4094.

The interface can be a physical interface or a port channel.
The port-channel range is 1 to 64.

Step 3

end

Return to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 4

show ip igmp snooping mrouter [vlan vlan-id] Verify that IGMP snooping is enabled on the VLAN interface.

Step 5

copy running-config startup-config

(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
