multicast stream, use the ancp client port identifier command.

Syntax Description

Command Modes Global configuration mode
Command History
Usage Guidelines The ANCP server can use either the DHCP option 82 circuit ID or an identifier created with this
commandto identify the port. Use only one of the two methods; do not interchange them. If you use the
DHCP option 82, the port identifier used by the ANCP server should be (in hex) 0x01060004[vlan][intf].
For example, VLAN 19 and interface Fast Ethernet 2/3 will provide 0x0106000400130203. If you use
the port identifier, however, use the exact string provided on the CLI.
Note This command is available only after you set the box in ANCP client mode with the ancp mode client
configuration command.
Examples This example shows how to identify interface FastEthernet 7/3 on VLAN 10 with the string NArmstrong:
Switch# ancp client port identifier NArmstrong vlan 10 interface FastEthernet 7/3
