IP multicast traffic reduction

1

Syntax: show ip multicast vlan

The number of cam-indices allocated for the entry on an LP depends upon the number of PPCRs on
which the VLAN has member ports.

The vlan vlan-id parameter displays IP multicast VLAN information for a specified VLAN.

Table 28

describes the output parameters of the show ip multicast vlan command.

Static IGMP membership

When configuring a static IGMP membership, you have two options:

The multicast static-group uplink command which sends the traffic to the router, and saves a port.

The multicast static-group group-address port-list command is for downstream traffic and uses a
port.

Configuring a multicast static group uplink per VLAN

When the multicast static-group uplink command is enabled on a snooping VLAN, the snooping
device behaves like an IGMP host on ports connected to the multicast router. The snooping device
will respond to IGMP queries from the uplink multicast PIM router for the groups and sources
configured. Upon the multicast router receiving the IGMP join message, it will initiate the PIM join
on its upstream path towards the source to pull the source traffic down. The source traffic will stop
at the IGMP snooping device. The traffic will then be forwarded to the multicast receiver and router
ports or dropped in hardware if no other multicast receiver and routers are present in the VLAN.
