Configuring Static Joining; Configuring A Multicast Group Filter - HP A5500 SI Switch Series Configuration Manual

Configuring an IGMP version on an interface
Follow these steps to configure an IGMP version on an interface:
To do...
Enter system view
Enter interface view
Configure an IGMP version on the
interface

Configuring static joining

When an interface is configured as a static member of a multicast group or a multicast source group, it
acts as a virtual member of the multicast group to receive multicast data addressed to that multicast
group for the purpose of testing multicast data forwarding.
Follow these steps to configure an interface as a statically connected member of a multicast group or a
multicast source and group:
To do...
Enter system view
Enter interface view
Configure the interface as a static
member of a multicast group or a
multicast source and group
NOTE:
Before you configure an interface of a PIM-SM device as a static member of a multicast group or a
multicast source and group, if the interface is enabled with PIM-SM, ensure that the interface is a
PIM-SM DR. If the interface is enabled with IGMP but not with PIM-SM, ensure that the interface is an
IGMP querier. For more information about PIM-SM and DR, see the chapter "PIM configuration."
As a static member of a multicast group or a multicast source and group, the interface does not
respond to the queries from the IGMP querier, nor does it send an unsolicited IGMP membership
report or an IGMP leave group message when it joins or leaves a multicast group or a multicast
source and group. The interface will not become a real member of the multicast group or the
multicast source and group.

Configuring a multicast group filter

To restrict the hosts on the network attached to an interface from joining certain multicast groups, set an
ACL rule on the interface as a packet filter so that the interface maintains only the multicast groups that
match the criteria.
Follow these steps to configure a multicast group filter:
Use the command...
system-view
interface interface-type interface-
number
igmp version version-number
Use the command...
system-view
interface interface-type interface-
number
igmp static-group group-address [
source source-address ]
