Chapter 39 Configuring ANCP Client
Enabling and Configuring ANCP Client
The ANCP protocol must be able to identify the port on which multicast must be added. (This port can
be identified either using the identifier configured on the CLI or with the DHCP option 82 that was
inserted by the Catalyst 4500 switch while the subscriber received an IP address with DHCP. Either way,
you should be consistent in identifying a given port.
Enabling and Configuring ANCP Client
Note
If you intend to use DHCP option 82 rather than CLI mapping (with the
ancp client port identif...
command) you must enter the
ip dhcp snooping
command before configuring the ANCP client.
You can identify a port with the
ancp mode client
command or with DHCP option 82.
This section includes these topics:

Identifying a Port with the ANCP Protocol
To make the Catalyst 4500 series switch operate as an ANCP client and to build and initialize its relevant
data, enter the
ancp mode client
command. The
no
version of this command disables ANCP. This
command disconnects the ANCP client from the ANCP server and terminates any existing multicast
streams that have been enabled with ANCP.
To configure a switch to communicate with a single ANCP server, use the [
no
]
ancp client server
interface
command. This command directs the ANCP client to initiate a TCP connection to the remote
ANCP server identified with the IP address. If the TCP connection fails, the connection times out and
retries for the connection every 120 seconds until it succeeds. The
interface
command specifies the
interface from which the local ANCP client obtains its IP address.The
no
command terminates the TCP
connection to the ANCP server but retains any existing ANCP activated multicast stream.
Separate commands enable the ANCP client and configure the IP address of the ANCP server. You can
reconfigure the IP address of the remote ANCP server without losing existing ANCP activated multicast
streams.
To identify a port with the ANCP protocol, follow these steps:
Step 1
Enable ANCP as follows:
Switch(config)>
ancp mode client
Step 2
Configure the IP address of the remote server as the interface to acquire the source IP address:
Switch(config)
> ancp client server
ipaddress of server
interface
interface
The interface might be a loopback; this allows the client to reach the server using the interface.
Step 3
(Optional) Enable the ANCP multicast client to identify this VLAN interface using the port-identifier as
opposed to the Option 82 circuit-id:
Switch(config)>
ancp client port identifier
[
port-identifier
]
vlan
[
number
]
interface
[
interface
]
