Static Multicast Router

Alteon OS Application Guide

These commands display information about IGMP Groups and Mrouters learned through IGMP Snooping.

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.

A total of 16 static Mrouters can be configured on the GbESM. Both internal and external ports 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. Configure a port to which the static Multicast Router is connected, and enter the appro- priate VLAN.

>> /cfg/l3/igmp/mrouter		(Select IGMP Mrouter menu)
>> Static Multicast Router# add EXT4		(Add port EXT4 as Static Mrouter port)
Enter VLAN number: (1-4093)	1	(Enter the VLAN number)
Enter the version number of	mrouter [12]: 2 (Enter the IGMP version number)

2. Apply, verify, and save the configuration.

>> Static Multicast Router#		apply	(Apply the configuration)
