All UDP multicast packets will be forwarded to the
router port. Because routers do not send IGMP reports
or implement IGMP snooping, a multicast router
connected to the router port of the Layer 3 switch would
not be able to receive UDP data streams unless the UDP
multicast packets were all forwarded to the router port.
•
A router port will be dynamically configured when IGMP
query packets, RIPv2 multicast, DVMRP multicast, PIM-
DM multicast packets are detected flowing into a port.
To setup a static router port
