Configuring IGMP snooping
Overview
IGMP snooping runs on a Layer 2 device as a multicast constraining mechanism to improve multicast forwarding efficiency. It creates Layer 2 multicast forwarding entries from IGMP packets that are exchanged between the hosts and the router.
As shown in Figure 1, when IGMP snooping is not enabled, the Layer 2 switch floods multicast packets to all hosts in a VLAN or VSI. When IGMP snooping is enabled, the Layer 2 switch forwards multicast packets of known multicast groups to only the receivers.
Figure 1 Multicast packet transmission without and with IGMP snooping
IGMP snooping ports
As shown in Figure 2, IGMP snooping runs on Switch A and Switch B, and Host A and Host C are receivers in a multicast group. IGMP snooping ports are divided into member ports and router ports.
Router ports
On an IGMP snooping Layer 2 device, the ports toward Layer 3 multicast devices are called router ports. In Figure 2, Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 of Switch A and Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 of Switch B are router ports.
Router ports contain the following types:
· Dynamic router port—When a port receives an IGMP general query whose source address is not 0.0.0.0 or receives a PIM hello message, the port is added into the dynamic router port list. At the same time, an aging timer is started for the port. If the port receives either of the messages before the timer expires, the timer is reset. If the port does not receive either of the messages when the timer expires, the port is removed from the dynamic router port list.
· Static router port—When a port is statically configured as a router port, it is added into the static router port list. The static router port does not age out, and it can be deleted only manually.
Do not confuse the "router port" in IGMP snooping with the "routed interface" commonly known as the "Layer 3 interface." The router port in IGMP snooping is a Layer 2 interface.
Member ports
On an IGMP snooping Layer 2 device, the ports toward receiver hosts are called member ports. In Figure 2, Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/0/2 and Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/0/3 of Switch A and Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/0/2 of Switch B are member ports.
Member ports contain the following types:
· Dynamic member port—When a port receives an IGMP report, it is added to the associated dynamic IGMP snooping forwarding entry as an outgoing interface. At the same time, an aging timer is started for the port. If the port receives an IGMP report before the timer expires, the timer is reset. If the port does not receive an IGMP report when the timer expires, the port is removed from the associated dynamic forwarding entry.
· Static member port—When a port is statically configured as a member port, it is added to the associated static IGMP snooping forwarding entry as an outgoing interface. The static member port does not age out, and it can be deleted only manually.
Unless otherwise specified, router ports and member ports in this document include both static and dynamic router ports and member ports.
How IGMP snooping works
The ports in this section are dynamic ports. For information about how to configure and remove static ports, see "Configuring static ports."
IGMP messages types include general query, IGMP report, and leave message. An IGMP snooping-enabled Layer 2 device performs differently depending on the message types.
General query
The IGMP querier periodically sends IGMP general queries to all hosts and routers on the local subnet to check for the existence of multicast group members.
After receiving an IGMP general query, the Layer 2 device forwards the query to all ports in the VLAN or VSI except the receiving port. The Layer 2 device also performs one of the following actions:
· If the receiving port is a dynamic router port in the dynamic router port list, the Layer 2 device restarts the aging timer for the port.
· If the receiving port does not exist in the dynamic router port list, the Layer 2 device adds the port to the dynamic router port list. It also starts an aging timer for the port.
IGMP report
A host sends an IGMP report to the IGMP querier for the following purposes:
· Responds to queries if the host is a multicast group member.
· Applies for a multicast group membership.
After receiving an IGMP report from a host, the Layer 2 device forwards the report through all the router ports in the VLAN or VSI. It also resolves the address of the reported multicast group, and looks up the forwarding table for a matching entry as follows:
· If no match is found, the Layer 2 device creates a forwarding entry with the receiving port as an outgoing interface. It also marks the receiving port as a dynamic member port and starts an aging timer for the port.
· If a match is found but the matching forwarding entry does not contain the receiving port, the Layer 2 device adds the receiving port to the outgoing interface list. It also marks the receiving port as a dynamic member port and starts an aging timer for the port.
· If a match is found and the matching forwarding entry contains the receiving port, the Layer 2 device restarts the aging timer for the port.
In an application with a group policy configured on an IGMP snooping-enabled Layer 2 device, when a user requests a multicast program, the user's host initiates an IGMP report. After receiving this report, the Layer 2 device resolves the multicast group address in the report and performs ACL filtering on the report. If the report passes ACL filtering, the Layer 2 device creates an IGMP snooping forwarding entry for the multicast group with the receiving port as an outgoing interface. If the report does not pass ACL filtering, the Layer 2 device drops this report. The multicast data for the multicast group is not sent to this port, and the user cannot retrieve the program.
A Layer 2 device does not forward an IGMP report through a non-router port because of the host IGMP report suppression mechanism. For more information about the IGMP report suppression mechanism, see "Configuring IGMP."
Leave message
An IGMPv1 receiver host does not send any leave messages when it leaves a multicast group. The Layer 2 device cannot immediately update the status of the port that connects to the receiver host. The Layer 2 device does not remove the port from the outgoing interface list in the associated forwarding entry until the aging time for the group expires.
An IGMPv2 or IGMPv3 host sends an IGMP leave message when it leaves a multicast group.
When the Layer 2 device receives an IGMP leave message on a dynamic member port, the Layer 2 device first examines whether a forwarding entry matches the group address in the message.
· If no match is found, the Layer 2 device discards the IGMP leave message.
· If a match is found but the receiving port is not an outgoing interface in the forwarding entry, the Layer 2 device discards the IGMP leave message.
· If a match is found and the receiving port is not the only outgoing interface in the forwarding entry, the Layer 2 device performs the following actions:
¡ Discards the IGMP leave message.
¡ Sends an IGMP group-specific query to identify whether the group has active receivers attached to the receiving port.
¡ Sets the aging timer for the receiving port to twice the IGMP last member query interval.
· If a match is found and the receiving port is the only outgoing interface in the forwarding entry, the Layer 2 device performs the following actions:
¡ Forwards the IGMP leave message to all router ports in the VLAN or VSI.
¡ Sends an IGMP group-specific query to identify whether the group has active receivers attached to the receiving port.
¡ Sets the aging timer for the receiving port to twice the IGMP last member query interval.
After receiving the IGMP leave message on a port, the IGMP querier resolves the multicast group address in the message. Then, it sends an IGMP group-specific query to the multicast group through the receiving port.
After receiving the IGMP group-specific query, the Layer 2 device forwards the query through all router ports and member ports of the group in the VLAN or VSI. Then, it waits for the responding IGMP report from the directly connected hosts. For the dynamic member port that received the leave message, the Layer 2 device also performs one of the following actions:
· If the port receives an IGMP report before the aging timer expires, the Layer 2 device resets the aging timer.
· If the port does not receive an IGMP report when the aging timer expires, the Layer 2 device removes the port from the forwarding entry for the multicast group.
IGMP snooping proxying
As shown in Figure 3, to reduce the number of IGMP report and leave messages received by the upstream device, you can enable IGMP snooping proxying on the edge device. With IGMP snooping proxying enabled, the edge device acts as a host for the upstream IGMP snooping querier to send IGMP report and leave messages to Router A. The host IGMP report suppression mechanism on the edge device does not take effect. For more information about the IGMP report suppression mechanism, see "Configuring IGMP."
Figure 3 IGMP snooping proxying
The IGMP snooping proxy device processes different IGMP messages as follows:
· General query.
After receiving an IGMP general query, the device forwards the query to all ports in the VLAN except the receiving port. The device also generates an IGMP report based on the local membership information and sends the report to all router ports.
· Group-specific query or group-and-source-specific query.
After receiving an IGMP group-specific query or group-and-source-specific query, the device forwards the query to all ports in the VLAN except the receiving port. If the forwarding entry has a member port, the device sends a report to all router ports in the VLAN.
· Report.
After receiving an IGMP report from a host, the device looks up the forwarding table for a matching entry as follows:
¡ If a match is found and the matching forwarding entry contains the receiving port, the device resets the aging timer for the port.
¡ If a match is found but the matching forwarding entry does not contain the receiving port, the device adds the receiving port to the outgoing interface list. It also marks the receiving port as a dynamic member port and starts an aging timer for the port.
¡ If no match is found, the device creates a forwarding entry with the receiving port as an outgoing interface. It also marks the receiving port as a dynamic member port and starts an aging timer for the port. Then it sends the report to all router ports.
· Leave message.
After receiving the IGMP leave message on a port, the device sends an IGMP group-specific query through the receiving port. The device sends the IGMP leave message to all router ports only when the last member port is removed from the forwarding entry.

For IGMP reports received from secondary VLANs, the relevant IGMP snooping forwarding entries are maintained by the primary VLAN. Therefore, you need to enable IGMP snooping only for the primary VLAN. The IGMP snooping configuration made in secondary VLANs does not take effect. For more information about primary VLANs and secondary VLANs, see Layer 2—LAN Switching Configuration Guide.
The IGMP snooping configurations made on Layer 2 aggregate interfaces do not interfere with the configurations made on member ports. In addition, the configurations made on Layer 2 aggregate interfaces do not take part in aggregation calculations. The configuration made on a member port of the aggregate group takes effect after the port leaves the aggregate group.
Configuring basic IGMP snooping features
Before you configure basic IGMP snooping features, complete the following tasks:
· Configure VLANs or VSIs.
· Determine the IGMP snooping version.
· Determine the maximum number of IGMP snooping forwarding entries.
· Determine the IGMP last member query interval.
Enabling IGMP snooping
When you enable IGMP snooping, follow these restrictions and guidelines:
· You must enable the IGMP snooping feature by using the igmp-snooping command before you enable IGMP snooping globally or for VLANs or VSIs.
· IGMP snooping configuration made in VLAN view or VSI view takes effect only on the member ports in that VLAN or VSI.
· You can enable IGMP snooping for multiple VLANs by using the enable vlan command in IGMP-snooping view or for a VLAN by using the igmp-snooping enable command in VLAN view. The configuration in VLAN view has the same priority as the configuration in IGMP-snooping view, and the most recent configuration takes effect.
· To configure other IGMP snooping features for VLANs or VSIs, you must enable IGMP snooping for the specific VLANs or VSIs even though IGMP snooping is globally enabled. The IGMP snooping configuration for specific VLANs or VSIs takes priority over the global IGMP snooping configuration.
· The IGMP snooping status on all devices in a VSI must be the same.

Specifying an IGMP snooping version
Different IGMP snooping versions process different versions of IGMP messages.
· IGMPv2 snooping processes IGMPv1 and IGMPv2 messages, but it floods IGMPv3 messages in the VLAN instead of processing them.
· IGMPv3 snooping processes IGMPv1, IGMPv2, and IGMPv3 messages.
If you change IGMPv3 snooping to IGMPv2 snooping, the device performs the following actions:
· Clears all IGMP snooping forwarding entries that are dynamically added.
· Keeps static IGMPv3 snooping forwarding entries (*, G).
· Clears static IGMPv3 snooping forwarding entries (S, G), which will be restored when IGMP snooping is switched back to IGMPv3 snooping.
For more information about static IGMP snooping forwarding entries, see "Configuring static ports."
You can specify the version for the specified VLANs in IGMP-snooping view, for a VSI in VSI view, or for a VLAN in VLAN view. For a VLAN, the configuration in VLAN view has the same priority as the configuration in IGMP-snooping view, and the most recent configuration takes effect.

Configuring static multicast MAC address entries
In Layer 2 multicast, multicast MAC address entries can be dynamically created through Layer 2 multicast protocols (such as IGMP snooping). You can also manually configure static multicast MAC address entries by binding multicast MAC addresses and ports to control the destination ports of the multicast data.
Configuration restrictions and guidelines
When you configure static multicast MAC address entries, follow these restrictions and guidelines:
· You do not need to enable IP multicast routing before this configuration.
· You must specify an unused multicast MAC address when configuring a static multicast MAC address entry. A multicast MAC address is a MAC address in which the least significant bit of the most significant octet is 1.
· You can configure static multicast MAC address entries on the specified interfaces in system view or on the current interface in interface view.

Setting the IGMP last member query interval
A receiver host starts a report delay timer for a multicast group when it receives an IGMP group-specific query for the group. This timer is set to a random value in the range of 0 to the maximum response time advertised in the query. When the timer value decreases to 0, the host sends an IGMP report to the group.
The IGMP last member query interval defines the maximum response time advertised in IGMP group-specific queries. Set an appropriate value for the IGMP last member query interval to speed up hosts' responses to IGMP group-specific queries and avoid IGMP report traffic bursts.
Configuration restrictions and guidelines
When you set the IGMP last member query interval, follow these restrictions and guidelines:
· The Layer 2 device does not send an IGMP group-specific query if it receives an IGMP leave message from a port enabled with fast-leave processing.
· You can set the IGMP last member query interval globally for all VLANs and VSIs in IGMP-snooping view, for a VSI in VSI view, or for a VLAN in VLAN view. For a VSI, the VSI-specific configuration takes priority over the global configuration. For a VLAN, the VLAN-specific configuration takes priority over the global configuration.

Configuring IGMP snooping port features
Before you configure IGMP snooping port features, complete the following tasks:
· Enable IGMP snooping for the VLAN or VSI.
· Determine the aging timer for dynamic router ports.
· Determine the aging timer for dynamic member ports.
· Determine the addresses of the multicast group and multicast source.
Setting aging timers for dynamic ports
When you set aging timers for dynamic ports, follow these restrictions and guidelines:
· If the memberships of multicast groups frequently change, you can set a relatively small value for the aging timer of the dynamic member ports. If the memberships of multicast groups rarely change, you can set a relatively large value.
· If a dynamic router port receives a PIMv2 hello message, the aging timer for the port is specified by the hello message. In this case, the router-aging-time or igmp-snooping router-aging-time command does not take effect on the port.
· IGMP group-specific queries originated by the Layer 2 device trigger the adjustment of aging timers for dynamic member ports. If a dynamic member port receives such a query, its aging timer is set to twice the IGMP last member query interval. For more information about setting the IGMP last member query interval on the Layer 2 device, see "Setting the IGMP last member query interval."
· You can set the timers globally for all VLANs and VSIs in IGMP-snooping view, for a VSI in VSI view, or for a VLAN in VLAN view. For a VLAN, the VLAN-specific configuration takes priority over the global configuration. For a VSI, the VSI-specific configuration takes priority over the global configuration.

Configuring static ports
You can configure the following types of static ports:
· Static member port—When you configure a port as a static member port for a multicast group, all hosts attached to the port will receive multicast data for the group.
The static member port does not respond to IGMP queries. When you complete or cancel this configuration on a port, the port does not send an unsolicited IGMP report or leave message.
· Static router port—When you configure a port as a static router port for a multicast group, all multicast data for the group received on the port will be forwarded.

Configuring a port as a simulated member host
When a port is configured as a simulated member host, it is equivalent to an independent host in the following ways:
· It sends an unsolicited IGMP report when you complete the configuration.
· It responds to IGMP general queries with IGMP reports.
· It sends an IGMP leave message when you cancel the configuration.
The version of IGMP running on the simulated member host is the same as the version of IGMP snooping running on the port. The port ages out in the same way as a dynamic member port.

Enabling fast-leave processing
This feature enables the device to immediately remove a port from the forwarding entry for a multicast group when the port receives a leave massage.
Configuration restrictions and guidelines
When you enable fast-leave processing, follow these restrictions and guidelines:
· Do not enable fast-leave processing on a port that has multiple receiver hosts in a VLAN. If fast-leave processing is enabled, the remaining receivers cannot receive multicast data for a group after a receiver leaves that group.

Disabling a port from becoming a dynamic router port
A receiver host might send IGMP general queries or PIM hello messages for testing purposes. On the Layer 2 device, the port that receives either of the messages becomes a dynamic router port. Before the aging timer for the port expires, the following problems might occur:
· All multicast data for the VLAN to which the port belongs flows to the port. Then, the port forwards the data to attached receiver hosts. The receiver hosts will receive multicast data that it does not want to receive.
· The port forwards the IGMP general queries or PIM hello messages to its upstream multicast routers. These messages might affect the multicast routing protocol state (such as the IGMP querier or DR election) on the multicast routers. This might further cause network interruption.
To solve these problems, you can disable a port from becoming a dynamic router port. This also improves network security and the control over receiver hosts.

This section describes how to configure an IGMP snooping querier.
Configuration prerequisites
Before you configure the IGMP snooping querier, complete the following tasks:
· Enable IGMP snooping for the VLAN or VSI.
· Determine the IGMP general query interval.
· Determine the maximum response time for IGMP general queries.
Enabling the IGMP snooping querier
Configuration restrictions and guidelines
When you enable the IGMP snooping querier, follow these restrictions and guidelines:
· Do not enable the IGMP snooping querier on a multicast network that runs IGMP. An IGMP snooping querier does not take part in IGMP querier elections. However, it might affect IGMP querier elections if it sends IGMP general queries with a low source IP address.
· On a TRILL network, if an RB acts as both the IGMP snooping querier and the AVF of a VLAN, configure the appointed port as a static router port. This configuration ensures that IGMP snooping forwarding entries can be created. For more information about TRILL, RBs, AVFs, and appointed ports, see TRILL Configuration Guide.
· On a VXLAN network, the IGMP snooping querier in a VSI does not include VLAN tags in IGMP general queries. As a best practice, do not enable the IGMP snooping querier in a VSI if the VSI uses the Ethernet access mode. For more information about the Ethernet access mode, see VXLAN Configuration Guide.

Enabling IGMP snooping querier election
To avoid traffic interruption caused by the failure of a single querier in a VLAN or VSI, configure multiple queriers in the VLAN or VSI and enable querier election. When the elected querier fails, a new querier election starts to ensure multicast forwarding. IGMP snooping querier election has the same mechanism as IGMP querier election. For more information about IGMP querier election, see "Configuring IGMP".
Configuration prerequisites
Before you enable IGMP snooping querier election for a VLAN or VSI, complete the following tasks:
· Enable the IGMP snooping querier for the VLAN or VSI.
· Configure the source IP address for IGMP general queries as an IP address different from 0.0.0.0 and the local querier IP address. An IGMP snooping querier performs querier election only if the source IP address of a received IGMP general query is not 0.0.0.0 or its own IP address. To configure the source IP address for IGMP general queries, use the igmp-snooping general-query source-ip command.
· Make sure the candidate IGMP snooping queriers run the same IGMP snooping version. To specify the IGMP snooping version, use the igmp-snooping version command.

Configuring parameters for IGMP general queries and responses
CAUTION: To avoid mistakenly deleting multicast group members, make sure the IGMP general query interval is greater than the maximum response time for IGMP general queries. |
You can modify the IGMP general query interval for a VLAN or VSI based on the actual condition of the network.
A receiver host starts a report delay timer for each multicast group that it has joined when it receives an IGMP general query. This timer is set to a random value in the range of 0 to the maximum response time advertised in the query. When the timer value decreases to 0, the host sends an IGMP report to the corresponding multicast group.
Set an appropriate value for the maximum response time for IGMP general queries to speed up hosts' responses to IGMP general queries and avoid IGMP report traffic bursts.
You can set the maximum response time for IGMP general queries globally for all VLANs and VSIs in IGMP-snooping view, for a VSI in VSI view, or for a VLAN in VLAN view. For a VSI, the VSI-specific configuration takes priority over the global configuration. For a VLAN, the VLAN-specific configuration takes priority over the global configuration.

Specifying the Layer 2 multicast forwarding mode
IMPORTANT: This feature is available in R2612 and later. In Release 2609, this feature is not available and the device forwards Layer 2 multicast packets based on their multicast MAC addresses. |
The device supports the following Layer 2 multicast forwarding modes:
· MAC-based mode—The device forwards Layer 2 multicast packets based on the multicast MAC addresses in the packets.
· IP-based mode—The device forwards Layer 2 multicast packets based on the IP addresses (multicast source addresses and multicast group addresses) in the packets.
To display Layer 2 multicast IP forwarding entries, use the display l2-multicast ip forwarding command.
To display Layer 2 multicast MAC forwarding entries, use the display l2-multicast mac forwarding command.
Configuration restrictions and guidelines
Multiple multicast IP addresses might be mapped to the same multicast MAC address. This causes that non-members of a multicast group receive the multicast data of this group if the device uses the MAC-based forwarding mode. As a best practice, specify the IP-based Layer 2 multicast forwarding mode on Layer 3 multicast devices.
For a network with devices running IGMPv3, specify the IP-based Layer 2 multicast forwarding mode as a best practice.
Before you specify IP-based Layer 2 multicast forwarding mode for a VSI, perform the following tasks:
1. Create a VSI interface.
2. Specify the VSI interface as the gateway interface of the VSI by using the gateway vsi-interface command.

Configuring parameters for IGMP messages
This section describes how to configure parameters for IGMP messages.
Configuration prerequisites
Before you configure parameters for IGMP messages, complete the following tasks:
· Enable IGMP snooping for the VLAN or VSI.
· Determine the source IP address of IGMP general queries.
· Determine the source IP address of IGMP group-specific queries.
· Determine the source IP address of IGMP reports.
· Determine the source IP address of IGMP leave messages.
· Determine the 802.1p priority of IGMP messages.
Configuring source IP addresses for IGMP messages
The IGMP snooping querier might send IGMP general queries with the source IP address 0.0.0.0. The port that receives such queries will not be maintained as a dynamic router port. This might prevent the associated dynamic IGMP snooping forwarding entry from being correctly created at the data link layer and eventually cause multicast traffic forwarding failures.
To avoid this problem, you can configure a non-all-zero IP address as the source IP address of the IGMP queries on the IGMP snooping querier. This configuration might affect the IGMP querier election within the subnet.
You can also change the source IP address of IGMP reports or leave messages sent by a simulated member host or an IGMP snooping proxy.

IGMP snooping configuration examples
Group policy and simulated joining configuration example(for VLANs)
Network requirements
As shown in Figure 4, Router A runs IGMPv2 and acts as the IGMP querier. Switch A runs IGMPv2 snooping.
Configure a multicast group policy and simulated joining to meet the following requirements:
· Host A and Host B receive only the multicast data addressed to multicast group 224.1.1.1. Multicast data can be forwarded through Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/0/3 and Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/0/4 of Switch A uninterruptedly, even though Host A and Host B fail to receive the multicast data.
· Switch A will drop unknown multicast data instead of flooding it in VLAN 100.

Static port configuration example (for VLANs)
Network requirements
As shown in Figure 5:
· Router A runs IGMPv2 and acts as the IGMP querier. Switch A, Switch B, and Switch C run IGMPv2 snooping.
· Host A and host C are permanent receivers of multicast group 224.1.1.1.
Configure static ports to meet the following requirements:
· To enhance the reliability of multicast traffic transmission, configure Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/0/3 and Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/0/5 on Switch C as static member ports for multicast group 224.1.1.1.
· Suppose the STP runs on the network. To avoid data loops, the forwarding path from Switch A to Switch C is blocked. Multicast data flows to the receivers attached to Switch C only along the path of Switch A—Switch B—Switch C. When this path is blocked, a minimum of one IGMP query-response cycle must be completed before multicast data flows to the receivers along the path of Switch A—Switch C. In this case, the multicast delivery is interrupted during the process. For more information about the STP, see Layer 2—LAN Switching Configuration Guide.
Configure Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/0/3 on Switch A as a static router port. Then, multicast data can flow to the receivers nearly uninterruptedly along the path of Switch A—Switch C when the path of Switch A—Switch B—Switch C is blocked.

IGMP snooping querier configuration example (for VLANs)
Network requirements
As shown in Figure 6:
· The network is a Layer 2-only network.
· Source 1 and Source 2 send multicast data to multicast groups 224.1.1.1 and 225.1.1.1, respectively.
· Host A and Host C are receivers of multicast group 224.1.1.1, and Host B and Host D are receivers of multicast group 225.1.1.1.
· All host receivers run IGMPv2, and all switches run IGMPv2 snooping. Switch A (which is close to the multicast sources) acts as the IGMP snooping querier.
Configure the switches to meet the following requirements:
· To prevent the switches from flooding unknown data in the VLAN, enable all the switches to drop unknown multicast data.
· A switch does not mark a port that receives an IGMP query with source IP address 0.0.0.0 as a dynamic router port. This adversely affects the establishment of Layer 2 forwarding entries and multicast traffic forwarding. To avoid this, configure the source IP address of IGMP queries as a non-zero IP address.

IGMP snooping proxying configuration example (for VLANs)
Network requirements
As shown in Figure 7, Router A runs IGMPv2 and acts as the IGMP querier. Switch A runs IGMPv2 snooping. Configure IGMP snooping proxying so that Switch A can perform the following actions:
· Forward IGMP report and leave messages to Router A.
· Respond to IGMP queries sent by Router A and forward the queries to downstream hosts.

IGMP snooping configuration example (for VXLANs)
Network requirements
As shown in Figure 9:
· VXLAN 10 provides Layer 2 connectivity for VM 1, VM 2, and VM 3 across the network sites.
· VXLAN 10 uses the unicast mode for flood traffic.
Configure IGMP snooping on the switches to implement Layer 2 multicast forwarding and reduce the burden of replicating known multicast traffic for VTEPs in VXLAN 10.

Troubleshooting IGMP snooping
Layer 2 multicast forwarding cannot function
Symptom
Layer 2 multicast forwarding cannot function on the Layer 2 device.
Solution
To resolve the problem:
1. Use the display igmp-snooping command to display IGMP snooping status.
2. If IGMP snooping is not enabled, use the igmp-snooping command in system view to Enable the IGMP snooping feature. Then, use the igmp-snooping enable command in VLAN view or VSI view to enable IGMP snooping for the VLAN or VSI.
3. If IGMP snooping is enabled globally but not enabled for the VLAN or VSI, use the igmp-snooping enable command in VLAN view or VSI view to enable IGMP snooping for the VLAN or VSI.
4. If the problem persists, contact H3C Support.
Multicast group policy does not work
Symptom
Hosts can receive multicast data for multicast groups that are not permitted by the multicast group policy.
Solution
To resolve the problem:
1. Use the display acl command to verify that the configured ACL meets the multicast group policy requirements.
2. Use the display this command in IGMP-snooping view or in a corresponding interface view to verify that the correct multicast group policy has been applied. If the applied policy is not correct, use the group-policy or igmp-snooping group-policy command to apply the correct multicast group policy.
3. Use the display igmp-snooping command to verify that dropping unknown multicast data is enabled. If it is not, use the igmp-snooping drop-unknown command to enable dropping unknown multicast data.
4. If the problem persists, contact H3C Support.
