Adding Multicast Addresses to VLANs
Multicast filtering can be dynamically configured using IGMP
Snooping and IGMP Query messages as described in “Configuring
IGMP Parameters” on page 2-113. For certain application that
require tighter control, you may need to statically configure a
multicast service on the switch. First add all the ports attached to
participating hosts to a common VLAN, and then assign the
multicast service to that VLAN group.
Command Usage
