R21xx-HP FlexFabric 11900 IP Multicast Configuration Guide

25
• If the multicast group replacement is disabled, the switch or the port discards IGMP reports that are
used for joining a new multicast group.
In some specific applications, such as channel switching, a newly joined multicast group must
automatically replace an existing multicast group. In this case, the function of multicast group
replacement must also be enabled so a user can switch from the current multicast group to a new group.
When you enable the multicast group replacement function, follow these guidelines:
• This configuration is effective for the multicast groups that a port dynamically joins. If you configure
the port as a static member port for a multicast group, this configuration is not effective for the
multicast group.
• You can enable the multicast group replacement function either for the current port in proper
interface view or globally for all ports in IGMP-snooping view. If the configurations are made in
both interface view and IGMP-snooping view, the configuration made in interface view takes
priority.
To enable the multicast group replacement function globally:

Displaying and maintaining IGMP snooping
Execute display commands in any view and reset commands in user view.
Task Command

snooping forwarding entries (in
standalone mode).
