4.4.11.2 Configure LAN Interface as Upstream IGMP Proxy

 

 

This applies when the multicast server in on the LAN side. Hosts on the network can sent IGMP request 

from the WAN side through the LAN interface. And the LAN interface, acting as the upstream interface, 

forwards data multicast from the LAN-side multicast server to hosts on the network. 

 

In figure as

 

shown below, there is a multicast router on the LAN side and LAN Group 1 interface is 

enabled as the upstream IGMP proxy. IGMP requests from the network are forwarded to LAN group 1 and 

multicast frames from multicast router 1 are forwarded to hosts on the LAN side (LAN group 3) and on the 

WAN side (DHCP1 and PPPoE1). No IGMP request nor data multicast are forwarded to LAN Group 2.
