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 2-70. 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.
