Usage Examples

The following example enables multicast forwarding on the interface: (config-loop 1)#ip mcast-stub upstream

ip mcast-stub downstream

ip mcast-stubhelper-address <ip address> more information.

This command is used in IP multicast stub applications in conjunction with the ip mcast-stubhelper-addressand ip mcast-stub downstream commands. When enabled, the interface becomes a candidate to be a helper forwarding interface. If chosen as the best path toward the helper address by the router's unicast route table, the IGMP host function is dynamically enabled and the interface becomes the active upstream interface, enabling the router to perform as an IGMP proxy. Though multiple interfaces may be candidates, no more than one interface will actively serve as the helper forwarding interface. See

Functional Notes
