Configuring a static group member
You can configure an interface as a static group member of a multicast group. Then, the interface can always receive multicast data addressed to the specified multicast group.
A static group member does not respond to IGMP queries. When you complete or cancel this configuration on an interface, the interface does not send an unsolicited IGMP report or leave message.
Configuration restrictions and guidelines
The interface to be configured as a static group member has the following restrictions:
If the interface is IGMP and PIM-SM enabled, it must be a PIM-SM DR.
If the interface is IGMP enabled but not PIM-SM enabled, it must be an IGMP querier.
For more information about PIM-SM and DR, see "Configuring PIM."
