Explicit host tracking is enabled by default.
9.2.3.7 Multicast Router Port Configuration
The multicast router port is the port which is directly connected to a multicast router. A
switch adds multicast router ports to the forwarding table to forward membership reports
only to those ports. Multicast router ports can be statically specified or dynamically
learned by incoming IGMP queries and PIM hello packets.
Static Multicast Router Port
You can statically configure Layer 2 port as the multicast router port which is directly
connected to a multicast router, allowing a static connection to a multicast router.
To specify a multicast router port, use the following command.
ip igmp snooping mrouter port
{PORTS | cpu}
Specifies a multicast router port globally.
PORTS: port number
cpu: CPU port
ip igmp snooping vlan VLANS
mrouter port {PORTS | cpu}
Specifies a multicast router port on a VLAN.
VLANS: VLAN ID (1-4094)
To delete a specified multicast router port, use the following command.
no ip igmp snooping mrouter
port {PORTS | cpu}
Deletes a specified multicast router port.
no ip igmp snooping vlan
VLANS mrouter port {PORTS |
cpu}
Multicast Router Port Learning
Multicast router ports are added to the forwarding table for every Layer 2 multicast entry.
The switch dynamically learns those ports through snooping on PIM hello packets.
To enable the switch to learn multicast router ports through PIM hello packets, use the
following command.
ip igmp snooping mrouter learn
pim
Enables to learn multicast router ports through PIM
hello packets globally.
