Configuration Guide - Multicast
The interface view is displayed.
The S3700 uses this interface to communicate with hosts. On the S3700, VLANIF interfaces
and loopback interfaces support IGMP.
Step 3 Run:
igmp version { 1 | 2 | 3 }
The IGMP version is specified on the interface.

5.3.5 (Optional) Configuring a Static IGMP Group

Context
After an interface is added to a multicast group statically, the S3700 considers that multicast
group members exist on the network segment that the interface belongs to. Therefore, S3700
receives the multicast data sent to the multicast group.
Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view
The system view is displayed.
Step 2 Run:
interface interface-type
The interface view is displayed.
The S3700 uses this interface to communicate with hosts. On the S3700, VLANIF interfaces
and loopback interfaces support IGMP.
Step 3 Run:
igmp static-group group-address [ source source-address ]
The interface is added to the multicast group or multicast source group statically.
If a loopback interface is used, the S3700 forwards the received data only when a user demands
the data. In this case, the bandwidth usage is reduced. If a VLANIF interface is adopted, the
S3700 forwards the received data directly.
If a loopback interface is used, the S3700 forwards the received data only when a user requests
the data. This reduces the CPU usage. VLANIF interfaces forward multicast data immediately.
By default, an interface is not statically added to any multicast group.

5.3.6 (Optional) Configuring an IGMP Multicast Group Policy

Context
To enable hosts on the network to which the interface is connected to join the specified multicast
groups and to receive messages from the groups, you need to set an ACL rule on the related
