Configuring IGMP Filtering, Configuring IGMP Profiles

Page 151 highlights

Chapter 6 Configuring the System Configuring IGMP Filtering Configuring IGMP Filtering IGMP filtering works with the Multicast VLAN Registration (MVR) feature to allow you to configure profiles of IP multicast groups. You can then associate these profiles with filtering action. IGMP filters are associated with each physical switch port. These filters are applied to all VLANs associated with the physical port. When a host or client in a VLAN sends an IGMP join message, the IGMP message is processed by the filter on the switch port. If the configured filter causes the IGMP report to be dropped, the switch port requesting the stream of IP multicast traffic cannot receive IP multicast traffic for that group. If the filtering action permits a particular IGMP report, the IGMP report is forwarded for normal processing. The filtering actions are configured on a per-switch-port basis. Note IGMP filtering is supported through the CLI and SNMP. Note IGMP filtering has no relationship with the function which directs the forwarding of IP multicast traffic. For example, IGMP filtering does not apply if CGMP or MVR is used to allow for the forwarding of IP multicast traffic. IGMP filters can be used in the video service deployment in Ethernet to the home (ETTH). The IGMP filters specify which multicast addresses are allowed to be received by the switch. Configuring IGMP Profiles To configure an IGMP profile, use the ip igmp profile global configuration command with a profile number to create an IGMP profile and enter IGMP profile configuration mode. From this mode, you can specify the parameters of the IGMP profile to be used for filtering IGMP join requests from a switch port. When you are in IGMP profile configuration mode, you can create the profile by using these commands: • deny: specifies that matching addresses are denied; this is the default condition. • exit: exits from IGMP profile configuration mode. • no: negates a command or sets its defaults. • permit: specifies that matching addresses are permitted. • range: specifies a range of IP addresses for the profile. You can enter a single IP address or a range with a start and an end address. The default is for the switch to have no IGMP profiles configured. When a profile is configured, if neither the permit nor deny keyword is included, the default is to deny access to the range of IP addresses. 78-6511-08 Catalyst 2900 Series XL and Catalyst 3500 Series XL Software Configuration Guide 6-23

Chapter 6
Configuring the System
Configuring IGMP Filtering
Configuring IGMP Filtering
IGMP filtering works with the Multicast VLAN Registration (MVR) feature to allow you to configure
profiles of IP multicast groups. You can then associate these profiles with filtering action.
IGMP filters are associated with each physical switch port. These filters are applied to all VLANs
associated with the physical port.
When a host or client in a VLAN sends an IGMP join message, the IGMP message is processed by the
filter on the switch port. If the configured filter causes the IGMP report to be dropped, the switch port
requesting the stream of IP multicast traffic cannot receive IP multicast traffic for that group. If the
filtering action permits a particular IGMP report, the IGMP report is forwarded for normal processing.
The filtering actions are configured on a per-switch-port basis.
Note
IGMP filtering is supported through the CLI and SNMP.
Note
IGMP filtering has no relationship with the function which directs the forwarding of IP multicast traffic.
For example, IGMP filtering does not apply if CGMP or MVR is used to allow for the forwarding of IP
multicast traffic.
IGMP filters can be used in the video service deployment in Ethernet to the home (ETTH). The IGMP
filters specify which multicast addresses are allowed to be received by the switch.
Configuring IGMP Profiles
To configure an IGMP profile, use the
ip igmp profile
global configuration command with a profile
number to create an IGMP profile and enter IGMP profile configuration mode. From this mode, you can
specify the parameters of the IGMP profile to be used for filtering IGMP join requests from a switch
port. When you are in IGMP profile configuration mode, you can create the profile by using these
commands:
deny
: specifies that matching addresses are denied; this is the default condition.
exit
: exits from IGMP profile configuration mode.
no
: negates a command or sets its defaults.
permit
: specifies that matching addresses are permitted.
range
: specifies a range of IP addresses for the profile. You can enter a single IP address or a range
with a start and an end address.
The default is for the switch to have no IGMP profiles configured. When a profile is configured, if
neither the
permit
nor
deny
keyword is included, the default is to deny access to the range of IP
addresses.
