l2-multicast static-group (Bridge domain view)

Function

The l2-multicast static-group command configures a static member interface.

The undo l2-multicast static-group command cancels the configuration.

By default, a dynamic member interface is used.

Format

l2-multicast static-group [ source-address source-address ] group-address group-address vsi vsi-name remote-peer ip-address [ negotiation-vc-id vc-id ]

undo l2-multicast static-group [ source-address source-address ] group-address { group-address | all } vsi vsi-name remote-peer ip-address [ negotiation-vc-id vc-id ]

Parameters

Parameter Description Value
source-address source-address

Specifies a multicast source address.

The value can be a Class A, Class B, or Class C address, in dotted decimal notation.

group-address group-address

Specifies a multicast group address.

The value ranges from 224.0.1.0 to 239.255.255.255, in dotted decimal notation.

vsi vsi-name

Specifies a VSI.

The value is a string of 1 to 31 case-sensitive characters, spaces not supported. When double quotation marks are used around the string, spaces are allowed in the string.

remote-peer ip-address

Specifies the IP address of a remote peer.

The value is in dotted decimal notation.

negotiation-vc-id vc-id

negotiation-vc-id vc-id and remote-peer ip-address work together to identify a PW. By default, vc-id is the VSI ID.

The value is an integer ranging from 1 to 4294967295.

all

Indicates all of multicast groups.

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

If hosts connected to an interface need to regularly receive data for a multicast group or a source-specific multicast group, the l2-multicast static-group command can be used to configure the interface as a static member interface.

Static member interfaces can be configured on different positions on a network to enable users to receive data for specific multicast groups or source-specific multicast groups regularly.

Prerequisites

IGMP snooping has been configured globally and in a BD.

Configuration Impact

A static member interface does not respond to IGMP Query messages. After the undo l2-multicast static-group command is run on a static member interface, the interface does not initiate an IGMP Leave message.

If the l2-multicast static-group command is run more than once, all configurations take effect.

Precautions

If the number of (S, G) entries relevant to a group has reached the maximum value (128), no static entry will be created after the l2-multicast static-group command is run. This means that no entry relevant to a static multicast group will be generated even after the reset igmp-snooping group all command is run in the system view to refresh entries.

Example

# Configure a remote peer as a static multicast group member interface and statically join the multicast group in a BD.
