If multicast group memberships change frequently, you can set a relatively small value
for the member port aging timer, and vice versa.

2.4.3 Configuring Static Ports
If all the hosts attached to a port are interested in the multicast data addressed to a
particular multicast group or the multicast data that a particular multicast source sends
to a particular group, you can configure static (*, G) or (S, G) joining on that port,
namely configure the port as a group-specific or source-and-group-specific static
member port.
You can configure a port of a switch to be a static router port, through which the switch
can forward all the multicast traffic it received.
