service-type multicast
Syntax
service-type multicast
undo service-type multicast
View
VLAN view
Parameters
None
Description
Use the service-type multicast command to configure the current VLAN as a multicast VLAN.
Use the undo service-type multicast command to remove the current VLAN as a multicast VLAN.
By default, no VLAN is a multicast VLAN.
In an IGMP Snooping environment, by configuring a multicast VLAN and adding ports to the multicast
VLAN, you can allow users in different VLANs to share the same multicast VLAN. This saves bandwidth
because multicast streams are transmitted only within the multicast VLAN. In addition, because the
multicast VLAN is isolated from user VLANs, this method also enhances the information security.
z One port belongs to only one multicast VLAN.
z The port connected to a user terminal must be a hybrid port.
z The multicast member port must be in the same multicast VLAN with the router port. Otherwise, the
port cannot receive multicast packets.
z If a router port is in a multicast VLAN, the router port must be configured as a trunk port or a hybrid
port that allows tagged packets to pass for the multicast VLAN. Otherwise, all the multicast
member ports in this multicast VLAN cannot receive multicast packets.
z If a multicast member port needs to receive multicast packets forwarded by a router port that does
not belong to any multicast VLAN, the multicast member port must be removed from the multicast
VLAN. Otherwise, the port cannot receive multicast packets.
