Configuring a Multicast Group

Procedure

1. Run system-view

   The system view is displayed.

2. Run btv

   The broadcast TV (BTV) view is displayed.

3. Run multicast-group group-name { ip-address ipv4-group-address [ source ipv4-source-address ] | ipv6-address ipv6-group-address [ source ipv6-source-address ] }

   A multicast group is configured.

   • If user hosts run IGMPv1 or IGMPv2, you do not need to specify ipv4-source-address. If user hosts run Internet Group Management Protocol version 3 (IGMPv3), you can specify ipv4-source-address.

   • If user hosts run Multicast Listener Discovery version 1 (MLDv1), you do not need to specify ipv6-source-address. If user hosts run MLDv2, you can specify ipv6-source-address.

   • If the address of a newly configured multicast group is the same as that of an existing group but the parameter group-name differs, the name of the multicast group is changed after you run this command.
