Usage Guidelines

Use this command to filter multicast groups to the specified VLAN ports.

The policy file used by this command is a text file that contains the class-D addresses of the multicast groups that you wish to block.

To remove IGMP snooping filtering from a port, use the none keyword version of the command.

Use the following template to create a snooping filter policy file:

# # Add your group addresses between "Start" and "end" # Do not touch the rest of the 
file!!!! 
entry igmpFilter 
{ if match any 
{ 
#------------------ Start of group addresses ------------------ 
nlri 239.11.0.0/16; nlri 239.10.10.4/32; 
#------------------- end of group addresses ------------------- 
} then { deny; 
} 
} 
entry catch_all 
{ if 
{ 
} then 
{ permit; 
} 
} 

Example

The following example configures the policy file ap_multicast to filter multicast packets forwarded to VLAN marketing on ports 2:1-2:4:

configure igmp snooping marketing ports 2:1-2:4 filter ap_multicast
