Configuring multicast VLAN ports
In this approach, you need to configure a VLAN as a multicast VLAN and then assign user ports to this multicast VLAN by either adding the user ports in the multicast VLAN or specifying the multicast VLAN on the user ports. These two configuration methods give the same result.
Configuring multicast VLAN ports in multicast VLAN view
Follow these steps to configure multicast VLAN ports in multicast VLAN view:
To do... | Use the command... | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
Enter system view | system-view | — |
Configure the specified VLAN as a multicast VLAN and enter multicast VLAN view | multicast-vlan vlan-id | Required Not a multicast VLAN by default |
Assign ports to the multicast VLAN | port interface-list | Required By default, a multicast VLAN has no ports. |
Configuring multicast VLAN ports in interface view or port group view
Follow these steps to configure multicast VLAN ports in interface view or port group view:
To do… | Use this command… | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
Enter system view | system-view | — |
Configure the specified VLAN as a multicast VLAN and enter multicast VLAN view | multicast-vlan vlan-id | Required Not a multicast VLAN by default. |
Return to system view | quit | — |
Enter Layer 2 Ethernet interface/Layer 2 aggregate interface view or port group view | interface interface-type interface-number | Required Use either command. |
port-group manual port-group-name | ||
Configure the current port(s) as port(s) of the multicast VLAN | port multicast-vlan vlan-id | Required By default, a user port does not belong to any multicast VLAN. |
![[NOTE: ]](images/note.png) | NOTE: Do not configure multicast VLAN on a device with multicast routing enabled. The VLAN to be configured as a multicast VLAN must exist. A port can belong to only one multicast VLAN. | |
