Configuring IP Multicast Switching IPMS Application Example
OmniSwitch AOS Release 8 Network Configuration Guide December 2017 page 25-42
IPMS Application Example
The figure below shows a sample network with the switch sending multicast video. A client attached to
Port 5 needs to be configured as a static IGMP neighbor and another client attached to Port 2 needs to be
configured as a static IGMP querier.
Example IPMS Network
The network administrator has determined that the network is too lossy and therefore the robustness
variable needs to be set to a higher (i.e., 7) value.
Follow the steps below to configure this network:
1 Enable IP Multicast Switching and Routing switch-wide, by entering:
-> ip multicast admin-state enable
2 Configure the client attached to Port 5 as a static neighbor belonging to VLAN 5 by entering:
-> ip multicast static-neighbor vlan 5 port 1/5
3 Configure the client attached to Port 2 as a static querier belonging to VLAN 5 by entering:
-> ip multicast static-querier vlan 5 port 1/2
4 Modify the robustness variable from its default value of 2 to 7 by entering:
-> ip multicast robustness 7
Note. All the steps following Step 1 (which must be executed first) can be entered in any order.
