H3C S5600 Series Ethernet Switches
I. Enabling simulated joining in VLAN interface view
Follow these steps to enable simulated joining in VLAN interface view:
To do...
Enter system view
Enter VLAN
interface view
Enable simulated
joining
II. Configuring simulated joining in Ethernet port view
Follow these steps to configure a port as a simulated group member:
Enter system view
Enter Ethernet port view
Configure the current port
as a simulated multicast
group member
Caution:
Before configuring a simulated host, enable IGMP Snooping in VLAN view first.
The port to be configured must belong to the specified VLAN; otherwise the
configuration does not take effect.
You can use the source-ip source-address command to specify a multicast source
address that the port will join as a simulated host. This configuration takes effect
when IGMPv3 Snooping is enabled in the VLAN.
6.2.12 Configuring a VLAN Tag for Query Messages
By configuring the VLAN tag carried in IGMP general and group-specific queries
forwarded and sent by IGMP Snooping switches, you can enable multicast packet
forwarding between different VLANs In a Layer-2 multicast network environment.
Follow these steps to configure VLAN tag for query message:
Use the command...
system-view
interface Vlan-interface
interface-number
igmp host-join group-address
[ source-ip source-address ] port
interface-list
To do...
system-view
interface interface-type
interface-number
igmp host-join group-address
[ source-ip source-address ] vlan
vlan-id
