To configure an interface as a static member interface:
Ste
p
Command Remarks
1. Enter system view.
system-view N/A
2. Enter interface view.
interface interface-type
interface-number
N/A
3. Configure the interface as a
static member interface.
igmp static-group group-address
[ source source-address ]
An interface is not a static member
of any multicast group or multicast
source and group by default.
Configuring a multicast group filter
To restrict the hosts on the network attached to an interface from joining certain multicast groups, you can
set an ACL rule on the interface as a packet filter. In this way, the interface maintains only the multicast
groups that match the criteria.
To configure a multicast group filter:
Ste
p
Command Remarks
1. Enter system view.
system-view N/A
2. Enter interface view.
interface interface-type
interface-number
N/A
3. Configure a multicast
group filter.
igmp group-policy acl-number
[ version-number ]
By default, no multicast group filter is
configured on this interface. Namely,
hosts on the current interface can join
any valid multicast group.
Setting the maximum number of multicast groups that an interface can join
This configuration only limits the number of multicast groups that the interface dynamically joins.
To configure the maximum number of multicast groups an interface can join:
Ste
p
Command Remarks
1. Enter system view.
system-view N/A
2. Enter interface view.
interface interface-type
interface-number
N/A
3. Configure the maximum number of multicast
groups that the interface can join.
igmp group-limit limit The default value is 4096.
Adjusting IGMP performance
When you adjust IGMP performance, follow these guidelines:
• The configurations made in IGMP view are effective on all interfaces. The configurations made in
interface view are effective only on the current interface.
• A configuration made in interface view always has priority over the same configuration made in
IGMP view, regardless of the configuration sequence.
