Chapter 5 IGMP Configuration
5-17
z
If the
igmp group-policy
command has been configured on the interface, the
interface cannot receive report messages that fail to pass filtering.
III. Solution
1)
Check that the networking is correct and interface connections are correct.
2) Check that the interfaces and the host are on the same subnet. Use the
display
current-configuration interface
command to view the IP address of the
interface.
3) Check that multicast routing is enabled. Carry out the
display
current-configuration
command to check whether the
multicast routing-enable
command has been executed. If not, carry out the
multicast routing-enable
command in system view to enable IP multicast routing. In addition, check that
IGMP is enabled on the corresponding interfaces.
4) Check that the interface is in normal state and the correct IP address has been
configured. Carry out the
display igmp interface
command to view the interface
information. If no interface information is output, this means the interface is
abnormal. Typically this is because the
shutdown
command has been executed
on the interface, or the interface connection is incorrect, or no correct IP address
has been configured on the interface.
5) Check that no ACL rule has been configured to restrict the host from joining the
multicast group G. Carry out the
display current-configuration interface
command to check whether the
igmp group-policy
command has been executed.
If the host is restricted from joining the multicast group G, the ACL rule must be
modified to allow receiving the reports for the multicast group G.
5.7.2 Inconsistent Memberships on Routers on the Same Subnet
I. Symptom
Different memberships are maintained on different IGMP routers on the same subnet.
II. Analysis
z
A router running IGMP maintains multiple parameters for each interface, and
these parameters influence one another, forming very complicated relationships.
Inconsistent IGMP interface parameter configurations for routers on the same
subnet will surely result in inconsistency of memberships.
z
In addition, although IGMP routers are compatible with hosts, all routers on the
same subnet must run the same version of IGMP. Inconsistent IGMP versions
running on routers on the same subnet will also lead to inconsistency of IGMP
memberships.
