Chapter 3 IGMP Configuration
3-11
z
When receiving an IGMP general query, the simulated host responds with an
IGMP report. Meanwhile, the simulated host sends the same IGMP report to itself
to ensure that the IGMP entry does not age out.
z
When the simulated joining function is disabled on an Ethernet port, the simulated
host sends an IGMP leave message.
Therefore, to ensure that IGMP entries will not age out, the port must receive IGMP
general queries periodically.
I. Configuring simulated joining in interface view
Follow these steps to configure simulated joining in interface view:
To do...
Use the command...
Remarks
Enter system view
system-view
—
Enter interface view
interface interface-type
interface-number
—
VLAN
interface view
igmp host-join
group-address port
interface-list
Configure one or more
ports in the VLAN as
simulated member host(s)
of the specified multicast
group
LoopBack

II. Configuring simulated joining in Ethernet port view
Follow these steps to configure simulated joining in Ethernet port view:
To do...
Use the command...
Remarks
Enter system view
system-view
—
Enter Ethernet port view
interface
interface-type
interface-number
—
Configure the port in the specified
VLAN as a simulated member
host of the specified multicast
group
igmp host-join

default
Caution:
z
Before configuring simulated joining, you must enable IGMP in interface view first.
z
If you configure simulated joining in Ethernet port view, the Ethernet port must
belong to the specified VLAN; otherwise the configuration does not take effect.
