Configuring IPMS on a Switch
This section describes how to use Command Line Interface (CLI) commands to enable and disable IP 
Multicast Switching and Routing (IPMSR) switch wide (see 
), configure a port as a IGMP static neighbor (see 
), configure a port as a IGMP static querier (see 
), and configure a port as a IGMP static group (see 
In addition, a tutorial is provided in
