Specifying Multicast Router Ports
When you enable CGMP or GMRP, the switch automatically learns to which ports a multicast router is
connected. However, if desired, you can manually specify multicast router ports.
To statically define multicast router ports, perform this task in privileged mode:
Task
Step 1
Manually specify a multicast router port.
Step 2
Verify the configuration.
This example shows how to define a multicast router port manually and verify the configuration (the
asterisk [*] next to the multicast router on port 3/1 indicates that the entry was configured manually):
Console> (enable) set multicast router 3/1
Port 3/1 added to multicast router port list.
Console> (enable) show multicast router
CGMP enabled
IGMP disabled

Configuring Multicast Groups
To configure a multicast group statically, perform this task in privileged mode:
Task
Step 1
Add one or more multicast MAC addresses to the
CAM table.
Step 2
Verify the multicast group configuration.
