Configure a Multicast Router Interface on a VLAN
When you connect an external multicast router to a switch interface that is a member of a
VLAN and you configure that switch interface as a multicast router interface, the external
multicast router is automatically added to the list of learned multicast routers.
This dynamic learning mode is applicable only to multicast router information (that is, to
queries from an attached true querier). In such a situation, you do not need to enable a
snooping dynamic learning mode (that is, the snooping interface mode or the snooping VLAN
mode) for the multicast router interface.
To configure a multicast router interface on a VLAN:
1.
Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network, or
connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2.
Launch a web browser.
3.
In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see

field.

By default, Disable is selected.
