Multicast VLAN configuration task list
Task at a
g
lance
(Required.) Perform one of the following tasks:
• Configuring a sub-VLAN-based multicast VLAN
• Configuring a port-based multicast VLAN
{ Configuring user port attributes
{ Assigning user ports to a multicast VLAN
(Optional.) Setting the maximum number of multicast VLAN forwarding entries
When you configure the multicast VLANs, follow these guidelines:
• If you have configured both a sub-VLAN-based multicast VLAN and a port-based multicast VLAN
on a device, the port-based multicast VLAN configuration takes effect.
• HP recommends that you not configure multicast VLANs on a device that is enabled with IP multicast
routing.
Configuring a sub-VLAN-based multicast VLAN
To configure a sub-VLAN-based multicast VLAN, you must configure a VLAN as a multicast VLAN, and
assign the VLANs that contain receiver hosts to the multicast VLAN as sub-VLANs.
Configuration prerequisites
Before you configure a sub-VLAN-based multicast VLAN, complete the following tasks:
• Create VLANs as required.
• Enable IGMP snooping for the VLAN to be configured as the multicast VLAN, and for the VLANs
to be configured as sub-VLANs.
Configuration guidelines
When you configure a sub-VLAN-based multicast VLAN, follow these guidelines:
• The VLAN to be configured as the multicast VLAN must exist.
• The VLANs to be configured as sub-VLANs of the multicast VLAN must exist and must not be
multicast VLANs or sub-VLANs of any other multicast VLAN.
• The total number of multicast VLANs on a device must not exceed the system upper limit.
