Configuring IPMVLAN
This section describes how to use Command Line Interface (CLI) commands for creating and deleting
IPMVLAN (see “Creating and Deleting IPMVLAN” on page 33-9), assigning IPv4/IPv6 address to an
existing IPMVLAN and removing it (see “Assigning and Deleting IPv4/IPv6 Address” on page 33-9),
assigning and removing c-tag in an IPMVLAN (see “Assigning and Deleting C-Tag” on page 33-10),
creating and deleting a sender port in an IPMVLAN (see “Creating and Deleting a Sender Port” on
page 33-10), creating and deleting a receiver port in an IPMVLAN (see “Creating and Deleting a Receiver
Port” on page 33-11), and configuring a VLAN translation of a CVLAN to an IPMVLAN (see “Associat-
ing an IPMVLAN with a Customer VLAN” on page 33-11).
In addition, a tutorial is provided in “IPMVLAN Application Example” on page 33-12 that shows you
how to use CLI commands to configure a sample network.
Note. See the “IP Multicast VLAN Commands” chapter in the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide for
complete documentation of IPMVLAN CLI commands.
Creating and Deleting IPMVLAN
The following subsections describe how to create and delete an IPMVLAN with the vlan ipmvlan
command.
Note. The Enterprise mode is the default mode of an IP Multicast VLAN.
Creating IPMVLAN
To create an IPMVLAN, use the vlan ipmvlan command as shown below:
-> vlan ipmvlan 1003 name
"multicast vlan"
For example, to create an IPMVLAN in the 1x1 Spanning Tree mode, enter:
-> vlan ipmvlan 1333 1x1 stp enable name “nvlan”
Deleting IPMVLAN
To remove an IPMVLAN, use the no form of the vlan ipmvlan command by entering no vlan ipmvlan
followed by the IPMVLAN ID, as shown below:
-> no vlan ipmvlan 1003
To remove multiple IPMVLANs, specify a range of IPMVLAN IDs. For example:
-> no vlan ipmvlan 1010-1017
Assigning and Deleting IPv4/IPv6 Address
The following subsections describe how to assign an IPv4 or IPv6 address to an existing
IPMVLAN as well as delete the same with the vlan ipmvlan address command.
