Preventing a Host from Joining a Group

You can prevent a host from joining a particular group by blocking specific IGMP reports using an extended access list containing the

permissible source-group pairs.

For rules in IGMP access lists,

keyword any for

source (as shown in the following example) because the IGMPv2 hosts do not know in advance who the source

is for the group in which they are interested.

To apply the access list, use the following command.

Apply the access list.

INTERFACE mode

ip igmp access-group access-list-name

Dell Networking OS Behavior: Do not enter the ip igmp access-group command before creating the access-list. If you do, after

entering your first deny rule, the Dell Networking OS clears the multicast routing table and re-learns all groups, even those not covered by

the rules in the access-list, because there is an implicit deny all rule at the end of all access-lists. Therefore, configuring an IGMP join

request filter in this order might result in data loss. If you must enter the ip igmp access-group command before creating the

access-list, prevent the Dell Networking OS from clearing the routing table by entering a permit any rule with a high sequence number

before you enter any other rules.

In the following example, virtual local area network (VLAN) 400 is configured with an access list to permit only IGMP reports for group

239.0.0.1. Though Receiver 2 sends a membership report for groups 239.0.0.1 and 239.0.0.2, a multicast routing table entry is created only

for group 239.0.0.1. VLAN 300 has no access list limiting Receiver 1, so both IGMP reports are accepted and two corresponding entries are

created in the routing table.

source is the multicast source, not the source of the IGMP packet. For IGMPv2, use the

Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP)
