Multicast VLAN Configuration Examples
Sub-VLAN-Based Multicast VLAN Configuration
Network requirements
z
Router A connects to a multicast source through GigabitEthernet1/0/1 and to Switch A, through
GigabitEthernet 1/0/2.
z
IGMPv2 is required on Router A, and IGMPv2 Snooping is required on Switch A. Router A is the
IGMP querier.
z
Switch A’s GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 belongs to VLAN 10, GigabitEthernet 1/0/2 through
GigabitEthernet 1/0/4 belong to VLAN 2 through VLAN 4 respectively, and Host A through Host C
are attached to GigabitEthernet 1/0/2 through GigabitEthernet 1/0/4 of Switch A respectively.
z
The multicast source sends multicast data to multicast group 224.1.1.1. Host A, Host B, and Host C
are receivers of the multicast group.
z
Configure the sub-VLAN-based multicast VLAN feature so that Router A just sends multicast data
to Switch A through the multicast VLAN and Switch A forwards the traffic to the receivers that
belong to different user VLANs.

Configuration procedure
1) Configure
IP
addresses
Configure an IP address and subnet mask for each interface as per
Figure 1-4
. The detailed
configuration steps are omitted here.
2) Configure Router A
# Enable IP multicast routing, enable PIM-DM on each interface and enable IGMP on the host-side
interface GigabitEthernet 1/0/2.
