As shown above, the multicast group 224.1.1.1 is established on Switch A, with the dynamic router port
GigabitEthernet1/0/1 and dynamic member ports GigabitEthernet1/0/3 and GigabitEthernet1/0/4. This
means that Host A and Host B have joined the multicast group 224.1.1.1.
Configuring Multicast VLAN
Network requirements
As shown in Figure 2-4, Workstation is a multicast source. Switch A forwards multicast data from the
multicast source. A Layer 2 device, Switch B forwards the multicast data to the end users Host A and
Host B.
Table 2-2 describes the network devices involved in this example and the configurations you should
make on them.

Switch A Layer 3 device
The interface IP address of VLAN 20 is 168.10.1.1.
GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 is connected to the workstation and
belongs to VLAN 20.
The interface IP address of VLAN 10 is 168.10.2.1.
GigabitEthernet 1/0/10 belongs to VLAN 10.
GigabitEthernet 1/0/10 is connected to Switch B.
Switch B Layer 2 device
VLAN 2 contains GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 and VLAN 3
contains GigabitEthernet 1/0/2. The two ports are
connected to Host A and Host B, respectively.
VLAN 10 includes GigabitEthernet 1/0/10,
GigabitEthernet1/0/1, and GigabitEthernet 1/0/2.
GigabitEthernet 1/0/10 is connected to Switch A. VLAN 10
is a multicast VLAN.
Host A User 1 Host A is connected to GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 on Switch B.
Host B User 2 Host B is connected to GigabitEthernet 1/0/2 on Switch B.
