Configuring IP Multicast Switching

IPMS Application Example

The figure below shows a sample network with the switch sending multicast video. A client attached to
Port 5 needs to be configured as a static neighbor and another client attached to Port 2 needs to be config-
ured as a static querier.
Static Neighbor
Attached to Slot 4, Port 5.
Static Querier
Attached to Slot 7, Port 2.
The network administrator has determined that due to slow responses from workstations that membership
timeout needs to be 6 minutes (i.e., 3600 seconds) and the leave timeout needs to be two minutes (i.e., 120
seconds).
Follow the steps below to configure this network:
Note. All the steps following Step 1 (which must be executed first) may be entered in any order.
1
Enable IPMS switch wide by entering:
-> ip multicast switching
2 Configure the client attached to Port 5 as a static neighbor belonging to VLAN 5 by entering:
-> ip multicast static-neighbor 5 1/5
3 Configure the client attached to Port 2 as a static querier belonging to VLAN 5 by entering:
-> ip multicast static-querier 5 1/2
4
Modify the membership timeout from its default value of 260 seconds to 3600 seconds by entering:
-> ip multicast membership-timeout 3600
