6.1 Multicast VLAN Configuration Commands
6.1.1 service-type multicast
Syntax
service-type multicast
undo service-type multicast
View
VLAN view
Parameter
None
Description
Use the service-type multicast command to set the current VLAN to multicast VLAN.
Use the undo service-type multicast command to cancel the setting.
By default, no VLAN is a multicast VLAN.
You can configure a multicast VLAN, join related switch ports into this VLAN and enable
the IGMP Snooping function to make users in different VLANs share the same
multicast VLAN. After doing that, multicast streams are transmitted only through the
multicast VLAN, and therefore the bandwidth is saved. Additionally, the absolute
isolation between the multicast VLAN and the user VLANs guarantees the security of
the network.
Example
# Set VLAN 2 to multicast VLAN.
<Quidway> system-view
[Quidway] vlan 2
[Quidway-vlan2] service-type multicast
