The attach multicast-profile command binds a multicast profile to a user.
The undo attach multicast-profile command cancels the binding between a multicast profile and a user.
By default, no multicast profile is bound to a user.

Parameter |
Description |
Value |
|---|---|---|
profile-name |
Specifies the name of a multicast profile. |
The value is a string of 1 to 31 case-insensitive characters without spaces. |
interface interface-type interface-number |
Specifies a user interface. interface-type specifies the type of the user interface. interface-number specifies the number of the user interface. |
- |
mac-address mac-address |
Specifies the MAC address of a user host. |
The MAC address is in the format of H-H-H. Each H stands for four hexadecimal numbers. |
Usage Scenario
Traditional multicast services are uncontrollable. User hosts send IGMP/MLD Report packets to join a specified multicast group. Then they can receive multicast packets of the group. With the development of IPTV services, uncontrollable multicast services cannot meet carriers' requirements. You can configure controllable multicast to authenticate user rights in the VLAN that join a multicast group. The controllable multicast function authenticates users in a VLAN that need to join a multicast group using the multicast group, multicast group list, and multicast profile. After a multicast profile is configured, bind this profile to a VLAN. When a user host sends a request to join a channel, the request is snooped if the channel requested by the user host is not in the multicast profile.
Prerequisites
The specified multicast profile has been created.
Precautions
The switch supports the port+VLAN multicast control mode. To configure the multicast service for multiple user interfaces in the same VLAN, you need to specify a multicast profile for each interface individually by specifying the interface interface-type interface-number parameter.
