Configuring the Switch as a Statically Connected Member
At various times, either there is not a group member on a network segment or a host that cannot report its
group membership by using IGMP. However, you may want multicast traffic to be sent to that network
segment. The following commands are used to pull multicast traffic down to a network segment:
• ip igmp join-group—The switch accepts the multicast packets in addition to forwarding them. Accepting
the multicast packets prevents the switch from fast switching.
• ip igmp static-group—The switch does not accept the packets itself, but only forwards them. This
method enables fast switching. The outgoing interface appears in the IGMP cache, but the switch itself
is not a member, as evidenced by lack of an L (local) flag in the multicast route entry.
This procedure is optional.
