Chapter 30 Multicast VLAN
30.1 Introductions to Multicast VLAN
Based on current multicast order method, when orders from users in different VLAN, each
VLAN will copy a multicast traffic in this VLAN, which is a great waste of the bandwidth. By
configuration of the multicast VLAN, we add the switch port to the multicast VLAN, with the
IGMP Snooping/MLD Snooping functions enabled, users from different VLAN will share the
same multicast VLAN. The multicast traffic only exists within a multicast VLAN, so the
bandwidth is saved. As the multicast VLAN is absolutely separated from the user VLAN,
security and bandwidth concerns can be met at the same time, after the multicast VLAN is
configured, the multicast traffic will be continuously sent to the users.
