5.2.3 Configure a Router to Join Specified Multicast Group

Usually, the host operating IGMP will respond to IGMP query packet of the multicast
router. In case of response failure, the multicast router will consider that there is no
multicast member on this network segment and will cancel the corresponding path.
Configuring one interface of the router as multicast member can avoid such problem.
When the interface receives IGMP query packet, the router will respond, thus ensuring
that the network segment where the interface is connected can normally receive
multicast packets.
For an ethernet switch, you can configure a port in a VLAN interface to join a multicast
group.
Perform the following configuration in VLAN interface view.
