Required
An interface is not a static
member of any multicast group
or multicast source and group
by default.
z
Before you can configure an interface of a PIM-SM device as a static member of a multicast
group or a multicast source and group, if the interface is PIM-SM enabled, it must be a
PIM-SM DR; if this interface is IGMP enabled but not PIM-SM enabled, it must be an IGMP
querier. For more information about PIM-SM and a DR, refer to PIM Configuration in the IP
Multicast Configuration Guide.
z
As a static member of a multicast group or a multicast source and group, the interface does
not respond to the queries from the IGMP querier, nor does it send an unsolicited IGMP
membership report or an IGMP leave group message when it joins or leaves a multicast
group or a multicast source and group. In other words, the interface will not become a real
member of the multicast group or the multicast source and group.
Configuring a Multicast Group Filter
To restrict the hosts on the network attached to an interface from joining certain multicast
groups, you can set an ACL rule on the interface as a packet filter so that the interface
maintains only the multicast groups matching the criteria.
