Multimedia Traffic Control with IP Multicast (IGMP)

CLI: Configuring and Displaying IGMP

You can also combine the ip igmp command with other IGMP-related commands, as described in the following sections.

Configuring Per-Port IGMP Packet Control. Use this command in the VLAN context to specify how each port should handle IGMP traffic.

Syntax: vlan < vid > ip igmp

[ auto <port-list> blocked <port-list> forward <port-list> ]

Syntax: vlan < vid > ip igmp

Enables IGMP on the specified VLAN. In a VLAN context, use only ip igmp without the VLAN specifier.

auto < port-list> (Default operation)

Filter multicast traffic on the specified ports. Forward IGMP traffic to hosts on the ports that belong to the multicast group for which the traffic is intended. (Also forward any multicast traffic through any of these ports that is connected to a multicast router.) This is the default IGMP port configuration.

blocked < port-list>

Drop all multicast traffic received from devices on the specified ports, and prevent any outgoing multicast traffic from moving through these ports.

forward < port-list>

Forward all multicast traffic through the specified port.

For example, suppose you wanted to configure IGMP as follows for VLAN 1 on ports A1 - A6:

Ports A1 - A2: Auto

Ports A3 - A4: Forward

Ports A5 - A6: Block

Depending on the privilege level, you could use one of the following commands to configure IGMP on VLAN 1 with the above settings:

ProCurve(config)# vlan 1

ProCurve(vlan-1)# ip igmp auto a1,a2

ProCurve(vlan-1)# ip igmp forward a3,a4

ProCurve(vlan-1)# ip igmp blocked a5,a6
