Usage Guidelines

The no form of the multicast static-grp-fwd-disable command removes the configuration from the VLAN.

The multicast static-grp-fwd-disable command is supported only for IGMP version 2.

The multicast static-grp-fwd-disable command disables the addition of static-group-based outbound interfaces to mcache. The command can be used in conjunction with proxy configuration to generate proxy reports for static groups and eliminate traffic from the ICX router to reduce join latency.

With this configuration, a proxy module pulls traffic for affected static groups from the ICX router but does not forward the traffic to recipients configured in the static group. The traffic is forwarded only when IGMP report messages are received from the recipients.

Examples

The following example disables multicast static group forwarding on VLAN 100.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# vlan 100
device(config-vlan-100)# multicast static-grp-fwd-disable 
device(config-vlan-100)
