Configuring an interface as a static member interface
You can configure an interface as a static member of a multicast group or a multicast source and group,
so that the interface can receive multicast data addressed to that multicast group for the purpose of
testing multicast data forwarding.
Configuration guidelines
• When you configure an interface on a PIM-SM device as a static member interface, if the interface
is PIM-SM enabled, the interface must be a PIM-SM DR. If the interface is IGMP enabled but not
PIM-SM enabled, it must be an IGMP querier. For more information about PIM-SM and a DR, see
"Configuring PIM."
• 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 unsolicitedly send any IGMP report or IGMP leave message. In other words, 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 ]
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.
