Page 54 | AlliedWare™ OS How To Note: IGMP

Static IGMP > Explanation of Static IGMP

We can see the static entry on switch 3 by checking the IGMP snooping and IGMP tables.

Note that switch 3—the Querier—has no entry for port 26 and therefore does not send the
multicast to switch 1. This is because the static entry joined switch 1 to the stream without
any client sending a Membership Report.

If the multicast server was attached to switch 3 instead of switch 1, we would have to change
switch 3’s configuration. We would need to add a static entry for the port that switch 3 uses
to connect to switch 1 (port 26). Although this is unnecessary in this scenario, we will do it
to demonstrate the effect, by using the following commands.
