Configuring multicast stream limitation on a VLAN

Configure multicast stream limitation to limit the number of concurrent multicast streams on the VLAN. By limiting the number of concurrent multicast streams, you can protect the bandwidth on a specific VLAN and control access to multicast streams.

About this task

You can configure the maximum number of streams independently. After the number of streams reaches the limit, the VLAN drops additional join reports for new streams. You can control the overall bandwidth usage in addition to restricting users from receiving more than a specific limit of multicast streams on an interface.
