Configuring IPMS on a Switch
This section describes how to use Command Line Interface (CLI) commands to enable and disable IP
Multicast Switching and Routing (IPMSR) switch wide (see “Enabling and Disabling IP Multicast Status”
on page 20-8), configure a port as a IGMP static neighbor (see “Configuring and Removing an IGMP
Static Neighbor” on page 20-10), configure a port as a IGMP static querier (see “Configuring and Remov-
ing an IGMP Static Querier” on page 20-11), and configure a port as a IGMP static group (see
“Configuring and Removing an IGMP Static Group” on page 20-11).
In addition, a tutorial is provided in “IPMS Application Example” on page 20-36 that shows how to use
CLI commands to configure a sample network.
Note. See the “IP Multicast Switching Commands” chapter in the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide for
complete documentation of IPMS CLI commands.
Enabling and Disabling IP Multicast Status
IP Multicast Switching and Routing is disabled by default on a switch. The following subsections describe
how to enable and disable IP Multicast Switching and Routing with the ip multicast admin-state
command.
Note. If IP Multicast switching and routing is enabled on the system, the VLAN configuration overrides
the configuration of the system.
Enabling IP Multicast Status
To enable IP Multicast switching and routing on the system if no VLAN is specified, use the
ip multicast admin-state command as shown below:
-> ip multicast admin-state enable
You can also enable IP Multicast switching and routing on the specified VLAN by entering:
-> ip multicast vlan 2 admin-state enable
Disabling IP Multicast Status
To disable IP Multicast switching and routing on the system if no VLAN is specified, use the
ip multicast admin-state command as shown below:
-> ip multicast admin-state disable
Or, as an alternative, enter:
-> ip multicast admin-state
To restore the IP Multicast status to its default setting.
You can also disable IP Multicast switching and routing on the specified VLAN by entering:
-> ip multicast vlan 2 admin-state disable
