multicast-list (Multicast profile view)

Function

The multicast-list command binds a created multicast list to the multicast profile.

The undo multicast-list command unbinds a multicast list from the multicast profile.

By default, no multicast list is bound to a multicast profile.

This command is supported only on the NetEngine 8000 F1A.

Format

multicast-list { name list-name | list-index start-index [ end-index ] } [ static ]

undo multicast-list { name list-name | list-index start-index [ end-index ] } [ static ]

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Value
name list-name	Specifies the name of a multicast program list.	The value is a string of 1 to 32 case-sensitive characters, spaces not supported. The string can contain letters, digits, underscores (_), hyphens (-), and dots (.). It must start with a letter or digit.
list-index start-index	Specifies the start index of the IPv4 multicast list to be bound to the IPv4 multicast profile.	The value is an integer ranging from 0 to 8191.
end-index	Specifies the end index of an IPv4 multicast program list.	The value is an integer ranging from 0 to 8191.
static	Specifies statically binds.	-

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

Bind a created multicast list to the multicast profile.

After running the multicast-list static command in the AAA view to create a multicast program list and add the group address of the program to the list, run the multicast-list static (multicast profile view) command to bind the multicast program list to a multicast profile. Then, users of this multicast profile can receive the service flows of the program without sending IGMP Report messages after they go online. Use these commands when a program (such as an advertisement program) needs to be pushed to users, delivered to users' STBs before users join the program, or delivered to Layer 2 devices before users join the program. These commands help shorten the program switching duration.

Precautions

The multicast list to be bound must exist.
When specifying the index of the multicast list, note that the value of end-index cannot be smaller than that of start-index.

Example

# Bind the multicast list named list1 to the multicast profile named profile1.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[~HUAWEI] aaa
[~HUAWEI-aaa] multicast-profilelist1 group-address 239.0.0.1
[~HUAWEI-aaa] multicast-profile profile1
[~HUAWEI-aaa-mprofile-profile1] multicast-list name list1

# Bind the multicast program list list1 to the multicast static profile profile1.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[~HUAWEI] aaa
[~HUAWEI-aaa] multicast-list list1 group-address 239.0.0.1
[*HUAWEI-aaa] multicast-profile profile1
[*HUAWEI-aaa-mprofile-profile1] multicast-list name list1 static
