N o t e If the server is not directly connected to the switch, and the server’s multicast
traffic is arriving at the switch through the querier port, the above procedure
is not necessary. The querier device will automatically be a member of the
multicast group and the multicast application traffic will be distributed prop-
erly.
If your switch, and not some other device, is acting as the querier, the above
procedure will have to be completed.
