Configuring Multicast
VLAN
In the traditional multicast-on-demand mode, when users in different VLANs on a
Layer 2 device need multicast information, the multicast router needs to forward a
separate copy of the multicast data to each of these VLANs. This mode wastes a
great deal of bandwidth.
With the multicast VLAN feature, you can configure a VLAN as the multicast
VLAN, which can be used to transmit multicast traffic to users in different VLANs.
