Configuring 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

In the navigation pane, expand the following folders: Configuration > IP.
Click IGMP.
Click the Access Control tab.
Click Insert.
Type the number of the slot and port or VLAN ID that you want to add as a member or click the appropriate button, and then select one from the graphic display.
Click the ellipsis button (...) next to PrefixListId.
Select a prefix list ID.
Click OK.
Type the host address and host mask.
Select the action mode that you want for the specified host.
Click Insert.
