IP IGMP PROXY SERVICE

ip igmp proxy-service

Overview Use this command to enable the VLAN interface to be the upstream IGMP
proxy-service interface for the device. All associated downstream IGMP mroute
proxy interfaces on this device will have their memberships consolidated on this
proxy service interface, according to IGMP host-side functionality.
Use the no variant of this command to remove the designation of the VLAN
interface as an upstream proxy-service interface.
ip igmp proxy-service
Syntax
no ip igmp proxy-service
Mode Interface Configuration for a VLAN or Eth interface.
Usage This command applies to Eth interfaces and VLAN interfaces configured for IGMP
Proxy.
This command is used with the
forwarding of IGMP reports to a proxy service interface for all forwarding entries for
this interface. You must also enable the downstream IGMP mroute proxy interfaces
on this device using the command
IGMP Proxy does not work with other multicast routing protocols, such as PIM-SM
or PIM-DM.
From version 5.4.7-1.1 onwards, IGMP mroute proxy interfaces do not have to be
configured with an IP address before they can operate. Instead, it is possible to
have an address-less interface operate as an IGMP mroute proxy interface.
This feature is useful when IGMP Proxy needs to run on many downstream
interfaces. For example, you may want to use it if your device has one subscriber
(multicast receiver) per VLAN, and many receivers (many VLANs) connected to the
device. In such a situation, assigning IP addresses to each VLAN may not be
practicable.
Note that for such interface to be able to send queries to hosts directly attached to
the interface, it is necessary to enable IGMP snooping querier on the interface,
using the command
Example To designate VLAN1 as the upstream proxy-service interface, use the commands:
awplus#
awplus(config)#
awplus(config-if)#
