(Optional) Configuring IGMP

Configuring IGMP on the interfaces connecting a multicast device to a user network segment allows the device to manage multicast group members on the network segment.

Context

In the TCP/IP protocol suite, Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) manages IPv4 multicast group members. It sets up and maintains multicast group member relationships between IP hosts and neighboring multicast routers.

Procedure

Run system-view
The system view is displayed.
Run interface interface-type interface-number
The interface view is displayed.

interface-type interface-number specifies the interface connecting to a user host.
Run pim sm
PIM-SM is enabled.
Run igmp enable
IGMP is enabled.
Run commit
The configuration is committed.

Follow-up Procedure

Configure an IGMP version, create a static multicast group, or specify the multicast groups to which interfaces are allowed to be added. For details, see IGMP Configuration.
