Chapter 5 Multicast VLAN Configuration
5.1 Introduction to Multicast VLAN
Generally, when users in different virtual LANs (VLANs) order a multicast stream, each
of these VLANs copies the same multicast stream to itself. In this method, a great deal
of bandwidth is wasted.
Multicast VLAN is used to solve this problem. You can configure a multicast VLAN, join
related switch ports into this VLAN and enable the IGMP Snooping function to make
users in different VLANs share the same multicast VLAN. After doing that, multicast
streams are transmitted only through the multicast VLAN, and therefore the bandwidth
is saved. Additionally, the absolute isolation between the multicast VLAN and the user
VLANs guarantees the security of the network.
