Configuring static joining

After an interface is configured as a static member of a multicast group or a multicast source group, it will
act as a virtual member of the multicast group to receive multicast data addressed to that multicast group
for the purpose of testing multicast data forwarding.
Before configuring an interface of a PIM-SM-capable router as a static member of a multicast group or a
multicast source and group, if the interface is PIM-SM enabled, you must configure the interface as a
PIM-SM DR. If this interface is IGMP enabled but not PIM-SM enabled, you must configure the interface as
an IGMP querier.
A static member port does not respond to queries from the IGMP querier. When you configure a port as a
static member port or remove this configuration on the port, the port does not unsolicitedly send any
IGMP report or IGMP leave message. In other words, the port is not a real member of the multicast group
or the multicast source and group.
Configure an interface as a statically connected member of a multicast group or a multicast source and
group.
To do...
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter interface view.
3. Configure the interface as a
static member of a multicast
group or a multicast source
and group.
