Configuring a VTEP using the IGMP host method

1. Enter system view.

system-view

N/A

2. Enter VSI view.

vsi vsi-name

N/A

3. Enter VXLAN view.

vxlan vxlan-id

N/A

4. Assign a multicast group address for flood traffic, and specify a source IP address for multicast VXLAN packets.

group group-address source source-address

By default, a VXLAN uses unicast mode for flood traffic. No multicast group address or source IP address is specified for multicast VXLAN packets.

You must assign all VTEPs in a multicast-mode VXLAN to the same multicast group.

5. Enter the view of the transport-facing interface.

interface interface-type interface-number

N/A

6. Enable the IGMP host feature.

igmp host enable

By default, the IGMP host feature is disabled on an interface.

The IGMP host feature enables the interface to send IGMP reports in response to IGMP queries before it can receive traffic from the multicast group.

The igmp host enable command takes effect after you execute the multicast routing command.
