RE: access-group Vs multicast boundary in this case

Both will work. Both solutions will filter IGMP Joins from the clients.

But if there is already another multicast feed reaching the clients, the Multicast Boundary will stop that feed immediately.

The igmp-join solution will stop that feed only after the igmp group expires.

So in my opinion, the 1st solution is better. At least in the real-world, maybe not in the lab :)

Subject: access-group Vs multicast boundary in this case

Hi All

I have a case which says :

                  R4
                   | f0/0
                   |
             CLIENTS

These clients shd only recieve feeds for groups 225.25.25.25 and
226.26.26.26

I answered :

Rack1R4(config-if)#do sh ip access-li
Standard IP access list 17
    10 permit 225.25.25.25
    20 permit 226.26.26.26

int f0/0
 ip multicast boundary 17
!

2nd solution
---------------------
Let these clients join these 2 grps only

int f0/0
ip igmp access-grp 17
!

Let me know if and why sol 1 is wrong ?
