Configuring the Switch as a Member of a Group
You can configure the switch as a member of a multicast group and discover multicast reachability in a
network. If all the multicast-capable routers and multilayer s witches that you ad mini ster are me mbers of
a multicast group, pinging that group causes all these devices to respond. The devices respond to ICMP
echo-request packets addressed to a group of which they are members. Another example is the multicast
trace-route tools provided in the software.
Caution Performing this procedure might impact the CPU performance because the CPU will receive all data
traffic for the group address.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the switch to be a member of a
group. This procedure is optional.
