It is not recommended to configure this function while the multicast VLAN function is in effect.
Configuring Multicast VLAN
In traditional multicast implementations, when users in different VLANs listen to the same multicast
group, the multicast data is copied on the multicast router for each VLAN that contains receivers. This is
a big waste of network bandwidth.
In an IGMP Snooping environment, by configuring a multicast VLAN and adding ports to the multicast
VLAN, you can allow users in different VLANs to share the same multicast VLAN. This saves bandwidth
because multicast streams are transmitted only within the multicast VLAN. In addition, because the
multicast VLAN is isolated from user VLANs, this method also enhances the information security.
Multicast VLAN is mainly used in Layer 2 switching, but you must make the corresponding
configurations on the Layer 3 switch.
