Multicast Router Port

A Multicast router (Mrouter) port is a port that connects to a Multicast router. The device includes one or more Multicast router ports numbers when it forwards the Multicast streams and IGMP/MLD registration messages. This is required so that the Multicast routers can, forward the Multicast streams and propagate the registration messages to other subnets.

To statically configure or to view the dynamically detected ports connected to the Multicast router, follow these steps:

Procedure

Step 1

Click Multicast > Multicast Router Port.

Step 2

Enter the 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 3

Click Go. The interfaces matching the query criteria are displayed.

Step 4

For 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.

  • Forbidden—This port isn’t 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, the MRouter isn’t learned on this port (i.e. MRouter Ports Auto-Learn isn’t enabled on this port).

  • None—The port isn’t currently a Multicast router port.

Step 5

Click Apply to update the device.
