5.3 Example for Configuring Unknown Multicast and Fast Leave
5.3.1 Network Requirement
A user experiences lag when he is changing channel on his IPTV. He wants solutions to
this problem. As shown in the following network topology, port 1/0/4 on the switch is
connected to the upper layer network, and port 1/0/2 is connected to Host B.

5.3.2 Configuration Scheme
After the channel is changed, the client (Host B) still receives irrelevant multicast data,
the data from the previous channel and possibly other unknown multicast data, which
increases the network load and results in network congestion. The solution to this problem
is using Unknown Multicast and Fast Leave.
To avoid Host B from receiving irrelevant multicast data, the user can enable Fast Leave
on port 1/0/2 and enable Unknown Multicast globally. To change channel, Host B sends a
leave message about leaving the previous channel. The switch will then drop multicast data
from the previous channel and all unknown multicast data, which ensures that Host B only
receives multicast data from the new channel and that the multicast network is unimpeded.
