(Optional) Setting the Aging Time for Entries Triggered by Multicast Traffic

Setting the aging time for Layer 2 multicast forwarding entries triggered by multicast traffic can balance the forwarding efficiency and system performance.

Context

If a multicast source does not send multicast data for some multicast groups, relevant (S, G) entries need to be deleted. If a device does not receive any multicast data sent by a multicast source to a multicast group within the aging time of the corresponding (S, G) entry triggered by multicast traffic, the device deletes the multicast entry, improving device performance.

Before setting the aging time for entries triggered by multicast traffic, enable IGMP snooping both globally and in a specified VLAN or VSI.

Procedure

  1. Run system-view

    The system view is displayed.

  2. Perform either of the following operations to select VLAN or VPLS networking:

    • Run the vlan vlan-id command to enter the VLAN view.
    • Run the vsi vsi-name [ static ] command to enter the VSI view.

  3. Run l2-multicast source-lifetime lifetime

    The aging time is set for entries triggered by multicast traffic in the VLAN or VSI.

  4. Run commit

    The configuration is committed.
