Controlling which addresses create All Groups entries

The router or switch adds a port to its All Groups list when it determines that the port has a router attached to it. This example shows how to influence the router or switch’s process in determining who is a router, and therefore when to add a port to the All Groups list.

You can control the criteria for deciding which packets actually indicate the presence of a router on a particular port, by using the command:

set igmpsnooping routermode={alldefaultipmulticastrouter none}

With this command, you specify (in effect) a list of IP addresses. When the router or switch receives a multicast packet on a port, it compares the packet’s destination IP address with the list. If they match, the router or switch considers the packet to be from a “router”, and adds the port to the All Groups list.

The following table shows the address lists that each command option gives.

This option...
