Configuring a Source IP Address for the IGMP Messages Sent by the Proxy

You can set the source IP addresses in the IGMP reports and leave messages sent by the IGMP
snooping proxy on behalf of its attached hosts.
Follow these steps to configure the source IP addresses for the IGMP messages sent by the IGMP
snooping proxy on behalf of its attached hosts in a VLAN:
To do...
Enter system view
Enter VLAN view
Configure a source IP
address for the IGMP reports
sent by the proxy
Configure a source IP
address for the IGMP leave
messages sent by the proxy

Configuring an IGMP Snooping Policy

Configuration Prerequisites
Before configuring an IGMP snooping policy, complete the following task:
Enable IGMP snooping in the VLAN
Before configuring an IGMP snooping policy, prepare the following data:
ACL rule for multicast group filtering
The maximum number of multicast groups that can pass the ports
802.1p precedence for IGMP messages

Configuring a Multicast Group Filter

On an IGMP snooping–enabled switch, the configuration of a multicast group allows the service
provider to define restrictions on multicast programs available to different users.
In an actual application, when a user requests a multicast program, the user's host initiates an IGMP
report. Upon receiving this report message, the switch checks the report against the configured ACL
rule. If the port on which the report was received can join this multicast group, the switch adds an entry
for this port in the IGMP snooping forwarding table; otherwise the switch drops this report message. Any
multicast data that has failed the ACL check will not be sent to this port. In this way, the service provider
can control the VOD programs provided for multicast users.
Configuring a multicast group filter globally
Follow these steps to configure a multicast group filter globally:
To do...
Enter system view
Enter IGMP snooping view
Use the command...
system-view
vlan vlan-id
igmp-snooping report
source-ip { ip-address |
current-interface }
igmp-snooping leave
source-ip { ip-address |
current-interface }
Use the command...
system-view
igmp-snooping
