Configure Multicast Access Control for an Interface

Configure multicast access control for a selected IGMP interface or VLAN to restrict access to certain multicast streams and to protect multicast streams from spoofing (injecting data to the existing streams).

About this task

You can configure IGMP on a VRF instance the same way you configure the Global Router except that you must first launch the appropriate VRF context.

Procedure

  1. In the navigation pane, expand Configuration > IP.
  2. Select IGMP.
  3. Select the Access Control tab.
  4. Select Insert.
  5. Type the number of the slot and port or the VLAN ID that you want to add as a member or select Port or Vlan and then select a port or VLAN from the graphic display.
  6. Select ... near PrefixListId.
  7. Select a prefix list ID.
  8. Select OK.
  9. Type the host address and host mask.
  10. Select the action mode that you want for the specified host.
  11. Select Insert.
