R211x-HP Flexfabric 11900 IP Multicast Configuration Guide

55
• A static member interface does not respond to queries that the IGMP querier sends. When you
configure an interface as a static member or cancel this configuration on the interface, the interface
does not send any IGMP report or IGMP leave message without a request. This is because the
interface is not a real member of the multicast group or the multicast source and group.
Configuration procedure
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 ]
By default, an interface is not a
static member of any multicast
group or multicast source and
group.
Configuring a multicast group filter
To restrict the hosts on the network attached to an interface from joining certain multicast groups, you can
specify an ACL on the interface as a packet filter so that 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 any interface.
Hosts attached to an interface can
join any multicast group.
NOTE:
If you configure the interface as a static member interface for a multicast group or a multicast source and
group, this configuration is not effective for the multicast group or the multicast source and group.
Adjusting IGMP performance
Before adjusting IGMP performance, complete the following tasks:
• Configure any unicast routing protocol so that all devices are interoperable at the network layer.
• Configure basic IGMP functions.
