Configuring
Static IGMP
Group Membership
Use the Multicast > IGMP > Static Group page to manually propagate traffic from
specific multicast groups onto the specified VLAN interface.
Command Usage
â—† Group addresses within the entire multicast group address range can be
specified. However, if any address within the source-specific multicast (SSM)
address range (default 232/8) is specified, but no source address is included,
the request to join the multicast group will fail unless the next node up the
reverse path tree has statically mapped this group to a specific source address.
Also, if an address outside of the SSM address range is specified, and a specific
source address is included in the command, the request to join the multicast
group will also fail if the next node up the reverse path tree has enabled the
PIM-SSM protocol.
â—† If a static group is configured for an any-source multicast (*,G), a source address
cannot subsequently be defined for this group without first deleting the entry.
â—† If a static group is configured for one or more source-specific multicasts (S,G),
an any-source multicast (*,G) cannot subsequently be defined for this group
without first deleting all of the associated (S,G) entries.
â—† The switch supports a maximum of 64 static group entries.
Parameters
These parameters are displayed:
◆ VLAN – VLAN interface to assign as a static member of the specified multicast
group. (Range: 1-4094)
◆ Static Group Address – An IP multicast group address. (The group addresses
specified cannot be in the range of 224.0.0.1 - 239.255.255.255.)
