Specifying The Igmp Version; Configuring An Interface As A Static Member Interface - HP 5920 series Configuration Manual

Step
3. Enter interface view.
4. Enable IGMP.

Specifying the IGMP version

Because the protocol packets of different IGMP versions vary in structure and type, specify the same
IGMP version for all routers on the same subnet. Otherwise, IGMP cannot work properly.
To specify an IGMP version:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter interface view.
3. Specify an IGMP version.

Configuring an interface as a static member interface

You can configure an interface as a static member of a multicast group or a multicast source and group,
so that the interface can receive multicast data addressed to that multicast group for the purpose of
testing multicast data forwarding.
Configuration guidelines
A static member interface has the following restrictions:
•
If the interface is IGMP and PIM-SM enabled, it must be a PIM-SM DR.
If the interface is IGMP enabled but not PIM-SM enabled, it must be an IGMP querier.
For more information about PIM-SM and DR, see
• A static member interface does not respond to queries that the IGMP querier sends. When you
configure an interface as a static member or cancel this configuration on the interface, the interface
does not send any IGMP report or IGMP leave message without a request. This is because the
interface is not a real member of the multicast group or the multicast source and group.
Configuration procedure
To configure an interface as a static member interface:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter interface view.
3. Configure the interface as a
static member interface.
