Examples

Configuring static ARP multicast on an interface:

switch(config)# vlan 10
switch(config-vlan-10)# no shutdown
switch(config-vlan-10)# ip igmp snooping enable
switch(config-vlan-10)# exit
switch(config)# interface vlan10
switch(config-if-vlan)# ip igmp enable
switch(config-if-vlan)# arp ipv4 10.1.30.254 mac 01:00:5e:7F:1E:FE

NOTE:

If your NLB Virtual IP address is 10.1.30.254, then the server will join the 239.255.30.254 IGMP group. This IGMP group is mapped to the destination MAC address of 01:00:5e:7F:1E:FE.
