1.6.5 (Optional) Configuring a Static Router Interface
Context
On a network whose topology seldom changes, if a host needs to receive certain multicast packets
for a long time, you can configure the interface on the S9300 as a static router interface.
Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view
The system view is displayed.
Step 2 Run:
interface interface-type interface-number
The interface view is displayed.
The interface can be a GE interface, an Ethernet interface, or an Eth-Trunk interface. It is the
interface that connects the S9300 to the upstream router.
Step 3 Run:
igmp-snooping static-router-port vlan { { vlan-id [ to vlan-id ] } &<1-10> }
