Configuring A Static Router Port; Configuring A Port As A Simulated Group Member - H3C S5100-SI Operation Manual

Operation
Enter VLAN interface view
Configure specified port(s) as
static member port(s) of a
multicast group in the VLAN

Configuring a Static Router Port

In a network where the topology is unlikely to change, you can configure a port on the switch as a static
router port, so that the switch has a static connection to a multicast router and receives IGMP messages
from that router.

Configuring a Port as a Simulated Group Member

Generally, hosts running IGMP respond to the IGMP query messages of the multicast switch. If hosts
fail to respond for some reason, the multicast switch may consider that there is no member of the
multicast group on the local subnet and remove the corresponding path.
To avoid this from happening, you can configure a port of the VLAN of the switch as a multicast group
member. When the port receives IGMP query messages, the multicast switch will respond. As a result,
the port of the VLAN can continue to receive multicast traffic.
Through this configuration, the following functions can be implemented:

interface vlan-interface
interface-number
multicast static-group
group-address interface
interface-list
Command
system-view
interface interface-type

multicast static-router-port
vlan vlan-id
Command
