Commands
2.1 Multicast VLAN Configuration Commands
2.1.1 service-type multicast
Syntax
service-type multicast
undo service-type multicast
View
VLAN view
Parameter
None
Description
Use the service-type multicast command to configure the current VLAN as multicast
VLAN.
Use the undo service-type multicast command to remove the configuration.
By default, all VLANs are not multicast VLANs.
If you configure multicast VLAN, add the corresponding switch ports to the multicast
VLAN and enable IGMP Snooping, users in different VLANs can share one multicast
VLAN, and multicast flow can be transmitted in the multicast VLAN only, thus saving
bandwidth. The completely isolated multicast VLAN and user VLAN can effectively
ensure security.
 Note:
z A port can belong to only one multicast VLAN.
z The type of port connected with user terminals must be hybrid untagged.
z The current system supports up to three multicast VLANs.
Example
# Configure VLAN 2 as multicast VLAN.
