3. It is recommended to choose GENERAL as the link type of the member ports in the
multicast VLAN.
4. Configure the link type of the router port in the multicast VLAN as TRUNK or configure the
egress rule as TAG and the link type as GENERAL otherwise all the member ports in the
multicast VLAN cannot receive multicast streams.
5. After a multicast VLAN is created, all the IGMP packets will be processed only within the
multicast VLAN.
Configuration procedure:
Step
Operation
Description
1
Enable IGMP Snooping
function
Required. Enable IGMP Snooping globally on the switch
and for the port on Multicast→IGMP
Snooping→Snooping Config and Port Config page.
2 Create a multicast VLAN
Required. Create a multicast VLAN and add all the
member ports and router ports to the VLAN on the
VLAN→802.1Q VLAN page.
Configure the link type of the member ports as
GENERAL.
Configure the link type of the router ports as TRUNK or
configure the egress rule as tagged GENERAL.
3
Configure parameters for
multicast VLAN
Optional. Enable and configure a multicast VLAN on the
Multicast→IGMP Snooping→Multicast VLAN page.
It is recommended to keep the default time parameters.
4 Look over the
configuration
If it is successfully configured, the VLAN ID of the
multicast VLAN will be displayed in the IGMP Snooping
Status table on the Multicast→IGMP
Snooping→Snooping Config page.
Application Example for Multicast VLAN:
Network Requirements
Multicast source sends multicast streams via the router, and the streams are transmitted to
user A and user B through the switch.
Router: Its WAN port is connected to the multicast source; its LAN port is connected to the
switch. The multicast packets are transmitted in VLAN3.
Switch: Port 3 is connected to the router and the packets are transmitted in VLAN3; port 4 is
connected to user A and the packets are transmitted in VLAN4; port 5 is connected to user B
and the packets are transmitted in VLAN5.
User A: Connected to Port 4 of the switch.
User B: Connected to port 5 of the switch.
Configure a multicast VLAN, and user A and B receive multicast streams through the multicast
VLAN.
