6.2.2 Configuring the Multicast Program
A multicast program can be configured statically or generated dynamically. After the program
is configured, the multicast user with the corresponding rights can watch or preview the program.
Prerequisites
The multicast VLAN to which the multicast program belongs must exist. For the details on
configuring the VLAN, see
.
Context
In multicast services, multicast VLANs are used to identify different multicast Internet service
providers (ISPs). Generally, a multicast VLAN is allocated to each multicast ISP for the VLAN-
based management of multicast programs, multicast protocols, and IGMP versions, and for the
control of multicast domain and user rights.
Create a common VLAN before creating a multicast VLAN.
l
A multicast VLAN can be the same as a unicast VLAN. In this case, the multicast VLAN
and the unicast VLAN share the same traffic channel.
l
A multicast VLAN can be different from a unicast VLAN. In this case, the multicast VLAN
and the unicast VLAN use different traffic channels.
Procedure
Step 1
Configure multicast programs.
A multicast program in a multicast VLAN can be configured statically or generated dynamically.
l
Static configuration mode: Configure the program list for the multicast VLAN in advance
and bind the rights profile to the program to manage the programs.
1.
In multicast VLAN mode, run the
igmp match mode enable
command to set the static
configuration mode. In this case, you need to configure the multicast program in advance.
The program in the multicast VLAN is configured statically by default.
2.
In multicast VLAN mode, run the
igmp program add
[
name name
]
ip ip-addr
[
sourceip
ip-addr
] [
hostip ip-addr
] command to add a multicast program.
NOTE
If the IGMP version of the multicast VLAN is V3, the source IP address of the program in the multicast
VLAN must be configured. If the IGMP version of the multicast VLAN is V2, the source IP address
of the program in the multicast VLAN cannot be configured.
3.
Add a rights profile.
In BTV mode, run the
igmp profile add
command to add a rights profile.
4.
Bind the rights profile to the program.
In BTV mode, run the
igmp profile
command to bind the rights profile to the program and
set the rights to watch the program.
NOTE
If a user is bound with multiple rights profiles and the rights to a program are different in these
profiles, the user uses the rights with the highest priority. You can run the
igmp right-priority
command to adjust the priorities of the four rights: watch, preview, forbidden, and idle. By default,
the priorities of the four rights are forbidden > preview > watch > idle.
