Multicast VLAN configuration task list

Task at a glance
(Required.) Perform one of the following tasks:
•

Configuring a sub-VLAN-based multicast VLAN

•
Configuring a port-based multicast VLAN
Configuring user port attributes
Assigning user ports to a multicast VLAN
(Optional.) Setting the maximum number of multicast VLAN forwarding entries
If you have configured both a sub-VLAN-based multicast VLAN and a port-based multicast VLAN on
a device, the port-based multicast VLAN configuration takes effect.
Configuring a sub-VLAN-based multicast VLAN
To configure a sub-VLAN-based multicast VLAN, you must configure a VLAN as a multicast VLAN,
and assign the VLANs that contain multicast receivers to the multicast VLAN as sub-VLANs.

Configuration prerequisites

Before you configure a sub-VLAN-based multicast VLAN, complete the following tasks:
•
Create VLANs as required.
•
Enable IGMP snooping for the VLAN to be configured as the multicast VLAN, and for the
VLANs to be configured as sub-VLANs.

Configuration guidelines

When you configure a sub-VLAN-based multicast VLAN, follow these guidelines:
•
The VLAN to be configured as the multicast VLAN must exist.
•
The VLANs to be configured as sub-VLANs of the multicast VLAN must exist and cannot be
multicast VLANs or sub-VLANs of any other multicast VLAN.
•
The total number of multicast VLANs on a device cannot exceed the upper limit.

Configuration procedure

To configure a sub-VLAN-based multicast VLAN:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Configure a VLAN as a
multicast VLAN and
enter its view.
3. Assign the specified
VLANs to the multicast
VLAN as sub-VLANs.
Command

Remarks
N/A
By default, a VLAN is not a multicast VLAN.
By default, a multicast VLAN does not have
any sub-VLANs.
