Command History
Release 8.1 Command was introduced.
Release 10.1 Command was expanded to include loopback interfaces.
Functional Notes
This command is used in IP multicast stub applications in conjunction with the ip mcast-stub
helper-address, ip mcast-stub upstream, and ip mcast-stub downstream commands. When enabled,
the interface becomes a helper forwarding interface. The IGMP host function is dynamically enabled and
the interface becomes the active upstream interface, enabling the unit to perform as an IGMP proxy.
Usage Examples
The following example sets the helper address as the IGMP proxy:
(config)#interface loopback 1
(config-loop 1)#ip mcast-stub helper-enable
