HP 5900 series Command Reference

Usage guidelines
The specified VLAN must exist.
HP recommends not configuring a multicast VLAN on a device that is enabled with IP multicast routing.
The total number of multicast VLANs on a device must not exceed the system upper limit.
For a sub-VLAN-based multicast VLAN, you must enable IGMP snooping for the multicast VLAN and all
its sub-VLANs. For a port-based multicast VLAN, you must enable IGMP snooping for the multicast VLAN
and all user VLANs to which the user ports are connected.
Examples
# Enable IGMP snooping for VLAN 100. Configure VLAN 100 as a multicast VLAN and enter its view.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] igmp-snooping
[Sysname-igmp-snooping] quit
[Sysname] vlan 100
[Sysname-vlan100] igmp-snooping enable
[Sysname-vlan100] quit
[Sysname] multicast-vlan 100
[Sysname-mvlan-100]
