Chapter 3 IGMP Configuration

Figure 3-2
shows an IGMP Proxy diagram for a stub network. The upstream interface,
VLAN-interface 1 of Switch B is the proxy interface for the downstream interface
VLAN-interface 2.
Configure Switch B as follows:
Enable multicast routing, and then enable PIM and IGMP on VLAN-interface 1 and
VLAN-interface 2. Run the
igmp proxy
command on VLAN-interface 1 to configure it
as the proxy interface for VLAN-interface 2.
Configure Switch A as follows:
z
Enable multicast routing, enable IGMP and PIM on VLAN-interface 1.
z
Configure the
pim neighbor-policy
command to filter PIM neighbors in the
network segment 33.33.33.0/24. That is, Switch A does not consider Switch B as
its PIM neighbor.
In this case, when Switch B of the stub network receives from VLAN-interface 2 an
IGMP join or IGMP leave message sent by the host, it changes the source address of
the IGMP information to the address of VLAN-interface 1, 33.33.33.2, and sends the
information to VLAN-interface 1 of Switch A. For Switch A, this works as if there is a
host directly connected to VLAN-interface 1.
Similarly, when Switch B receives the IGMP general or group-specific query message
from the Layer 3 Switch A, Switch B also changes the source address of the query
message to the IP address of VLAN-interface 2, 22.22.22.1, and send the message
from VLAN-interface 2.
