Multicast Routing Commands
This router uses IGMP snooping and query to determine the ports
connected to downstream multicast hosts, and to propagate this
information back up through the multicast tree to ensure that requested
services are forwarded through each intermediate node between the
multicast server and its hosts, and also to filter traffic from all of the other
interfaces that do not require these services.
Multicast routers use snooping and query messages, along with a multicast
routing protocol to deliver IP multicast packets across different
subnetworks. This router supports both the Distance-Vector Multicast
Routing Protocol (DVMRP) and Protocol Independent Multicasting
(PIM). (Note that you should enable IGMP for any interface that is using
multicast routing.)
