By default, no limit is placed on
the maximum number of multicast
groups on a port.
Enabling the multicast group replacement feature
This feature enables the device to replace an existing group with a newly joined group when the
number of groups exceeds the upper limit. This feature is typically used in the channel switching
application. Without this feature, the device discards IGMP reports for new groups, and the user
cannot change to the new channel.
Configuration restrictions and guidelines
When you enable the multicast group replacement feature, follow these restrictions and guidelines:
•
This configuration takes effect only on the multicast groups that a port joins dynamically.
•
You can enable this feature globally for all ports in IGMP-snooping view or for a port in interface
view. For a port, the port-specific configuration takes priority over the global configuration.
