Static Router Ports:
Forbidden Router
Ports:
Note:
1. The router port should be in the multicast VLAN, otherwise the member ports cannot receive
multicast streams.
2. The Multicast VLAN won't take effect unless you first complete the configuration for the
corresponding VLAN owning the port on the 802.1Q VLAN page.
3. Configure the link type of the router port in the multicast VLAN as Tagged otherwise all the
member ports in the multicast VLAN cannot receive multicast streams.
4. After a multicast VLAN is created, all the IGMP packets will be processed only within the
multicast VLAN.
Configuration procedure:
Step Operation
1 Enable IGMP snooping
function
2 Create a multicast VLAN
3 Configure parameters for
multicast VLAN
4 Look over the configuration
Application Example for Multicast VLAN:
Network Requirements

Multicast source sends multicast streams via the router, and the streams are transmitted to user A
and user B through the switch.
Router: Its WAN port is connected to the multicast source; its LAN port is connected to the switch.
The multicast packets are transmitted in VLAN3.
Switch: Port 3 is connected to the router and the packets are transmitted in VLAN3; port 4 is
connected to user A and the packets are transmitted in VLAN4; port 5 is connected to user B and
the packets are transmitted in VLAN5.
User A: Connected to Port 4 of the switch.
Displays the dynamic router ports of the multicast VLAN.
Specify the static router port which is mainly used in the network
with stable topology.
Specify the forbidden router ports which is mainly used to forbid
ports becoming router ports.
Description
Required. Enable IGMP snooping globally on the switch and
for the port on Multicast→IGMP Snooping→Snooping
Config and Port Config page.
Required. Create a multicast VLAN and add all the member
ports and router ports to the VLAN on the VLAN→802.1Q
VLAN→VLAN Config page. Configure the link type of the
router ports as Tagged.
Required. Enable and configure a multicast VLAN on the
Multicast→IGMP Snooping→Multicast VLAN page.
It is recommended to keep the default time parameters.
If it is successfully configured, the VLAN ID of the multicast
VLAN will be displayed in the IGMP Snooping Status table
on the Multicast→IGMP Snooping→Snooping Config
page.
