Configuring a port-based multicast VLAN
You can assign only Layer 2 Ethernet interfaces or Layer 2 aggregate interfaces to a multicast VLAN.
Configuration prerequisites
Before you configure a port-based multicast VLAN, complete the following tasks:
•
Create VLANs as required.
•
Enable IGMP snooping for the VLAN to be configured as the multicast VLAN.
•
Enable IGMP snooping for all the VLANs that contain the multicast receivers.

3.
Configure the link type of the
user port as hybrid.

For more information about this
command, see
Layer 2—LAN
Switching Command Reference.
4.
Specify the PVID of the
current user port as the
VLAN to which the user port
belongs.
port hybrid pvid vlan
vlan-id
By default, the PVID for a hybrid
port is VLAN 1.
For more information about this
command, see
Layer 2—LAN
Switching Command Reference.
5.
Configure the current user
port to permit multicast VLAN
and to untag the packets.
port hybrid vlan
vlan-id-list
untagged
By default, a hybrid port permits
only VLAN 1.
For more information about this
command, see
Layer 2—LAN
Switching Command Reference.
Assigning user ports to a multicast VLAN
You can assign user ports to a multicast VLAN in multicast VLAN view or assign a user port to a
multicast VLAN in interface view. These configurations have the same priority.
Configuration restrictions and guidelines
When you assign user ports to a multicast VLAN, follow these restrictions and guidelines:
•
The VLAN to be configured as a multicast VLAN must exist.
•
A port can belong to only one multicast VLAN.
