1.9 Troubleshooting IGMP Snooping Configuration
1.9.1 Switch Fails in Layer 2 Multicast Forwarding
I. Symptom
A switch fails to implement Layer 2 multicast forwarding.
II. Analysis
IGMP Snooping is not enabled.
III. Solution
1) Enter
the
display current-configuration
command to view the running status of
IGMP Snooping.
2) If IGMP Snooping is not enabled, use the
igmp-snooping
command to enable
IGMP Snooping globally and then use
igmp-snooping enable
command to
enable IGMP Snooping in VLAN view.
3) If IGMP Snooping is disabled only for the corresponding VLAN, just use the
igmp-snooping enable
command in VLAN view to enable IGMP Snooping in the
corresponding VLAN.
1.9.2 Configured Multicast Group Policy Fails to Take Effect
I. Symptom
Although a multicast group policy has been configured to allow hosts to join specific
multicast groups, the hosts can still receive multicast data addressed to other multicast
groups.
II. Analysis
z
The ACL rule is incorrectly configured
z
The multicast group policy is not correctly applied
z
The function of dropping unknown multicast data is not enabled, so unknown
multicast data is broadcast
z
Certain ports have been configured as static member ports of multicasts groups,
and this configuration conflicts with the configured multicast group policy.
III. Solution
1) Use
the
display acl
command to check the configured ACL rule. Make sure that
the ACL rule conforms to the multicast group policy to be implemented.
2) Use
the
display this
command to check whether the correct multicast group
policy has been applied. If not, use the
igmp-snooping group-policy
command
to apply the correct multicast group policy.
