Requirements
Configure the multicast VLAN feature so that Switch A just sends multicast data to
VLAN 10 rather than to each VLAN when Host A and Host B attached to Switch B
need the multicast data.
The following table describes the device details:
Configure VLAN 10 as a multicast VLAN so that users in VLAN 2 and VLAN 3 can
receive multicast packets through VLAN 10.

Device Description Remarks
Switch A Layer 3 switch IP address of VLAN-interface 20 is 168.10.1.1. Ethernet
1/0/1 belongs to VLAN 20 and is connected with the
workstation.
IP address of VLAN-interface 10 is 168.10.2.1. Ethernet
1/0/10 belongs to VLAN 10 and is connected with Switch
B.
Switch B Layer 2 switch VLAN 2 contains Ethernet 1/0/1 and VLAN 3 contains
Ethernet 1/0/2. These two ports are connected with Host A
and Host B respectively. The default VLAN of Ethernet
1/0/1 is VLAN 2 and the default VLAN of Ethernet 1/0/2 is
VLAN 3.
VLAN 10 contains Ethernet 1/0/10, Ethernet 1/0/1 and
Ethernet 1/0/2. Ethernet 1/0/10 is connected with Switch
A.
VLAN 10 is multicast VLAN. Ethernet 1/0/1 sends packets
of VLAN 2 and VLAN 10 without VLAN tags.
Ethernet 1/0/2 sends packets of VLAN 3 and VLAN 10
without VLAN tags.
