Configuring Static Joining

After an interface is configured as a static member of a multicast group or a multicast source and group,
it will act 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
Before you can 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 PIM-SM enabled, it must be a PIM-SM DR; if this
interface is IGMP enabled but not PIM-SM enabled, it must be an IGMP querier. For more
information about PIM-SM and a DR, refer to PIM Configuration in the IP Multicast Volume.
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. In other words, 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, you
can set an ACL rule on the interface as a packet filter that limits the range of multicast groups the
interface serves.
Use the command...
igmp version version-number
Use the command...
system-view
interface interface-type
interface-number
igmp static-group
group-address [ source
source-address ]
