Static Multicast Router

BLADEOS 6.5.2 Application Guide

A static multicast router (Mrouter) can be configured for a particular port on a particular VLAN. A static Mrouter does not have to be learned through IGMP Snooping. Any data port can accept a static Mrouter.

When you configure a static Mrouter on a VLAN, it replaces any dynamic Mrouters learned through IGMP Snooping.

Configure a Static Multicast Router

1.For each MRouter, configure a port (1-24), VLAN (1-4094) and version (1-3).

RS G8124(config)# ip igmp mrouter 5 1 2

The IGMP version is set for each VLAN, and cannot be configured separately for each Mrouter.

2.Verify the configuration.

RS G8124# show ip igmp mrouter
