IPMS Application Example

IPMS Application Example
The figure below shows a sample network with the switch sending multicast video. A client attached to
Port 5 needs to be configured as a static IGMP neighbor and another client attached to Port 2 needs to be
configured as a static IGMP querier.
Static Neighbor
Attached to Slot 1, Port 5.
Static Querier
Attached to Slot 1, Port 2.
The network administrator has determined that the network is too lossy and therefore the robustness vari-
able needs to be set to a higher (i.e., 7) value.
Follow the steps below to configure this network:
Note. All the steps following Step 1 (which must be executed first) can be entered in any order.
1
Enable IP Multicast Switching and Routing switch-wide, by entering:
-> ip multicast admin-state enable
2
Configure the client attached to Port 5 as a static neighbor belonging to VLAN 5 by entering:
-> ip multicast static-neighbor vlan 5 port 1/5
3
Configure the client attached to Port 2 as a static querier belonging to VLAN 5 by entering:
-> ip multicast static-querier vlan 5 port 1/2
4
Modify the robustness variable from its default value of 2 to 7 by entering:
-> ip multicast robustness 7
