Configuring IPMS on a Switch
This section describes how to use Command Line Interface (CLI) commands to complete the following
configuration tasks:
• Enable and disable IP Multicast Switching and Routing (IPMSR) switch wide (see “Enabling and
Disabling IP Multicast Status” on page 25-9).
• Configure a port as a IGMP static neighbor (see “Configuring and Removing an IGMP Static
Neighbor” on page 25-12).
• Configure a port as a IGMP static querier (see “Configuring and Removing an IGMP Static Querier”
on page 25-13).
• Configure a port as a IGMP static group (see “Configuring and Removing an IGMP Static Group” on
page 25-14).
In addition, a tutorial is provided in “IPMS Application Example” on page 25-42 that shows how to use
CLI commands to configure a sample network.
Enabling and Disabling IP Multicast Status
IP Multicast Switching and Routing is disabled by default on a switch. The following subsections describe
how to enable and disable IP Multicast Switching and Routing with the ip multicast admin-state
command.
Enabling IP Multicast Status
To enable IP Multicast switching and routing on the system if no VLAN or SPB service is specified, use
the ip multicast admin-state command as shown below:
-> ip multicast admin-state enable
You can also enable IP Multicast switching and routing on the specified VLAN or SPB service by
entering:
-> ip multicast vlan 2 admin-state enable
-> ip multicast service 10 admin-state enable
Disabling IP Multicast Status
To disable IP Multicast switching and routing on the system if no VLAN or SPB service is specified, use
the ip multicast admin-state command as shown below:
-> ip multicast admin-state disable
Or, as an alternative, enter the following command to restore the IP Multicast status to its default setting:
-> no ip multicast admin-state
Note. See the “IP Multicast Switching Commands” chapter in the OmniSwitch AOS Release 8 CLI
Reference Guide for complete documentation of IPMS CLI commands.
Note. If IP Multicast switching and routing is enabled on the system, the VLAN or Shortest Page Bridging
(SPB) service configuration overrides the configuration of the system.
