    Adding IP Multicast Group Addresses
    The IP Multicast Group Address page is similar to the MAC Group Address page 
    except that Multicast groups are identified by IP addresses. 
    The IP Multicast Group Address page enables querying and adding IP Multicast 
    groups.
    To define and view IP Multicast groups:
    STEP 1Click Multicast > IP Multicast Group Address.
    The page contains all of the IP Multicast group addresses learned by snooping.
    STEP  2Enter the parameters required for filtering.
    •VLAN ID equals to—Define the VLAN ID of the group to be displayed.
    •IP Version equals to—Select IPv6 or IPv4.
    •IP Multicast Group Address equals to—Define the IP address of the 
    Multicast group to be displayed. This is only relevant when the Forwarding 
    mode is (S,G). 
    •Source IP Address equals to—Define the source IP address of the sending 
    device. If mode is (S,G), enter the sender S. This together with the IP Group 
    Address is the Multicast group ID (S,G) to be displayed. If mode is (*.G), enter 
    an * to indicate that the Multicast group is only defined by destination.
    STEP  3Click Go. The results are displayed in the lower block. When Bonjour and IGMP are 
    enabled on the device in Layer 2 system mode, the IP Multicast address of Bonjour 
    appears. Click Go. The results are displayed in the lower block.
    STEP  4Click Add to add a static IP Multicast Group Address.
    STEP  5Enter the parameters.
    •VLAN ID—Defines the VLAN ID of the group to be added.
    •IP Version—Select the IP address type. 
    •IP Multicast Group Address—Define the IP address of the new Multicast 
    group.
    •Source Specific—Indicates that the entry contains a specific source, and 
    adds the address in the IP Source Address field. If not, the entry is added as 
    a (*,G) entry, an IP group address from any IP source.

    STEP  7To configure and display the registration of an IP group address, select an address 
    and click Details.
    The VLAN ID, IP Version, IP Multicast Group Address, and Source IP Address 
    selected are displayed as read-only in the top of the window. You can select the 
    filter type:
    •Interface Type equals to—Select whether to display ports or LAGs.
    STEP  8For each interface, select its association type. The options are as follows:
    •Static—Attaches the interface to the Multicast group as a static member.
    •Forbidden—Specifies that this port is forbidden from joining this group on 
    this VLAN.
    •None—Indicates that the port is not currently a member of this Multicast 
    group on this VLAN. This is selected by default until Static or Forbidden is 
    selected.
    STEP  9Click Apply. The Running Configuration file is updated.
    Configuring IGMP Snooping
    To support selective Multicast forwarding (IPv4), Bridge Multicast filtering must be 
    enabled (in the Properties page), and IGMP Snooping must be enabled globally 
    and for each relevant VLAN (in the IGMP Snooping page).
    By default, a Layer 2 device forwards Multicast frames to all ports of the relevant 
    VLAN, essentially treating the frame as if it were a Broadcast. With IGMP Snooping 
    the device forwards Multicast frames to ports that have registered Multicast 
    clients.
    NOTEThe device supports IGMP Snooping only on static VLANs. It does not support 
    IGMP Snooping on dynamic VLANs.

    Configuring IGMP Snooping

    16
     
    When IGMP Snooping is enabled globally or on a VLAN, all IGMP packets are 
    forwarded to the CPU. The CPU analyzes the incoming packets, and determines 
    the following: 
    •Which ports are asking to join which Multicast groups on what VLAN.
    •Which ports are connected to Multicast routers (Mrouters) that are 
    generating IGMP queries.
    •Which ports are receiving PIM, DVMRP, or IGMP query protocols. 
    These are displayed on the IGMP Snooping page.
    Ports, asking to join a specific Multicast group, issue an IGMP report that specifies 
    which group(s) the host wants to join. This results in the creation of a forwarding 
    entry in the Multicast Forwarding Data Base.
    The IGMP Snooping Querier is used to support a Layer 2 Multicast domain of 
    snooping switches in the absence of a Multicast router. For example, where 
    Multicast content is provided by a local server, but the router (if one exists) on that 
    network does not support Multicast.
    The speed of IGMP Querier activity must be aligned with the IGMP-snooping-
    enabled switches. Queries must be sent at a rate that is aligned to the snooping 
    table aging time. If queries are sent at a rate lower than the aging time, the 
    subscriber cannot receive the Multicast packets. This is performed in the IGMP 
    Snooping Edit page.
    To enable IGMP Snooping and identify the device as an IGMP Snooping Querier 
    on a VLAN:
    STEP 1Click Multicast > IGMP Snooping.
    STEP  2Enable or disable the IGMP Snooping status. 
    When IGMP Snooping is enabled globally, the device monitoring network traffic 
    can determine which hosts have requested to receive Multicast traffic. 
    The device only performs IGMP Snooping if both IGMP snooping and Bridge 
    Multicast filtering are enabled.
    STEP  3Select a VLAN, and click Edit.

    16
    There can be only one IGMP Querier in a network. The device supports 
    standards-based IGMP Querier election. Some of the values of the operational 
    parameters of this table are sent by the elected querier. The other values are 
    derived from the device.
    STEP  4Enter the parameters.
    •VLAN ID—Select the VLAN ID on which IGMP snooping is defined.
    •IGMP Snooping Status—Enable or disable the monitoring of network traffic 
    for the s ele cte d VL AN.

    block a Multicast stream sent to a member port when an IGMP Group Leave 
    message is received on that port. 
    •IGMP Querier Status—Enable or disable the IGMP Querier.
    •Administrative Querier Source IP Address—Select the source IP address 
    of the IGMP Querier. This can be the IP address of the VLAN or it can be the 
    management IP address.
    •Operational Querier Source IP Address—Displays the source IP address 
    of the elected querier. 
    •IGMP Querier Version—Select the IGMP version used if the device 
    becomes the elected querier. Select IGMPv3 if there are switches and/or 
    Multicast routers in the VLAN that perform source-specific IP Multicast 
    for warding.
    STEP  5Click Apply. The Running Configuration file is updated.
    MLD Snooping
    Hosts use the MLD protocol to report their participation in Multicast sessions, and 
    the device uses MLD snooping to build Multicast membership lists. It uses these 
    lists to forward Multicast packets only to device ports where there are host nodes 
    that are members of the Multicast groups. The device does not support MLD 
    Querier.
    Hosts use the MLD protocol to report their participation in Multicast sessions.
    The device supports two versions of MLD snooping: 
    •MLDv1 snooping detects MLDv1 control packets, and sets up traffic 
    bridging, based on IPv6 destination Multicast addresses. 
    •MLDv2 snooping uses MLDv2 control packets to forward traffic based on 
    the source IPv6 address, and the destination IPv6 Multicast address. 
    The actual MLD version is selected by the Multicast router in the network.

    16
    In an approach similar to IGMP snooping, MLD frames are snooped as they are 
    forwarded by the device from stations to an upstream Multicast router and vice 
    versa. This facility enables a device to conclude the following:
    •On which ports stations interested in joining a specific Multicast group are 
    located
    •On which ports Multicast routers sending Multicast frames are located
    This knowledge is used to exclude irrelevant ports (ports on which no stations 
    have registered to receive a specific Multicast group) from the forwarding set of an 
    incoming Multicast frame.
    If you enable MLD snooping in addition to the manually-configured Multicast 
    groups, the result is a union of the Multicast groups and port memberships derived 
    from the manual setup and the dynamic discovery by MLD snooping. Only static 
    definitions are preserved when the system is rebooted.
    To enable MLD Snooping and configure it on a VLAN:
    STEP 1Click Multicast > MLD Snooping.
    STEP  2Enable or disable MLD Snooping Status. When MLD Snooping is globally 
    enabled, the device monitoring network traffic can determine which hosts have 
    requested to receive Multicast traffic. The device performs MLD Snooping only if 
    both MLD snooping and Bridge Multicast filtering are enabled. 
    STEP  3Select a VLAN, and click Edit.
    STEP  4Enter the parameters.
    •VLAN ID—Select the VLAN ID.
    •MLD Snooping Status—Enable or disable MLD snooping on the VLAN. The 
    device monitors network traffic to determine which hosts have asked to be 
    sent Multicast traffic. The device performs MLD snooping only when MLD 
    snooping and Bridge Multicast filtering are both enabled
    •Operational MLD Snooping Status—Displays the current status of MLD 
    Snooping for the selected VLAN.
    •MRouter Ports Auto-Learn—Enable or disable Auto Learn for the Multicast 
    router. 
    •Query Robustness—Enter the Robustness Variable value to be used if the 
    device cannot read this value from messages sent by the elected querier.

    16
    There might be a difference between information on this page and, for example, 
    information displayed in the MAC Group Address page
    . Assuming that the system 
    is in MAC-based groups and a port that requested to join the following Multicast 
    groups 224.1.1.1 and 225.1.1.1, both are mapped to the same MAC Multicast 
    address 01:00:5e:01:01:01. In this case, there is a single entry in the MAC Multicast 
    page, but two entries on this page. 
    To query for a IP Multicast group:
    STEP 1Click Multicast > IGMP/MLD IP Multicast Group.
    STEP  2Set the type of snooping group for which to search: IGMP or MLD.
    STEP  3Enter some or all of following query filter criteria:
    •Group Address equals to—Defines the Multicast group MAC address or IP 
    address to query.
    •Source Address equals to—Defines the sender address to query.
    •VLAN ID equals to—Defines the VLAN ID to query.
    STEP  4Click Go. The following fields are displayed for each Multicast group:
    •VLAN—The VLAN ID.
    •Group Address—The Multicast group MAC address or IP address.
    •Source Address—The sender address for all of the specified group ports.
    •Included Ports—The list of destination ports for the Multicast stream.
    •Excluded Ports—The list of ports not included in the group.
    •Compatibility Mode—The oldest IGMP/MLD version of registration from the 
    hosts the device receives on the IP group address. 
    Defining Multicast Router Ports
    A Multicast router (Mrouter) port is a port that connects to a Multicast router. The 
    device includes the Multicast router port(s) numbers when it forwards the 
    Multicast streams and IGMP/MLD registration messages. This is required so that 
    the Multicast routers can, in turn, forward the Multicast streams and propagate the 
    registration messages to other subnets.

    To statically configure or see dynamically-detected ports connected to the 
    Multicast router:
    STEP 1Click Multicast > Multicast Router Port.
    STEP  2Enter some or all of following query filter criteria:
    •VLAN ID equals to—Select the VLAN ID for the router ports that are 
    described.
    •IP Version equals to—Select the IP version that the Multicast router 
    supports.
    •Interface Type equals to—Select whether to display ports or LAGs.
    STEP  3Click Go. The interfaces matching the query criteria are displayed.
    STEP  4For each port or LAG, select its association type. The options are as follows:
    •Static—The port is statically configured as a Multicast router port.
    •Dynamic—(Display only) The port is dynamically configured as a Multicast 
    router port by a MLD/IGMP query. To enable the dynamic learning of 
    Multicast router ports, go to the Multicast > IGMP Snooping page, and the 
    Multicast > MLD Snooping page
    •Forbidden—This port is not to be configured as a Multicast router port, even 
    if IGMP or MLD queries are received on this port. If Forbidden is enabled on 
    a port, Mrouter is not learned on this port (i.e. MRouter Ports Auto-Learn is not 
    enabled on this port).
    •None—The port is not currently a Multicast router port.
    STEP  5Click Apply to update the device. 
    Defining Forward All Multicast
    The Forward All page enables and displays the configuration of the ports and/or 
    LAGs that are to receive Multicast streams from a specific VLAN. This feature 
    requires that Bridge Multicast filtering in the Properties page be enabled. If it is 
    disabled, then all Multicast traffic is flooded to ports in the device.
    You can statically (manually) configure a port to Forward All, if the devices 
    connecting to the port do not support IGMP and/or MLD.
