Introduction

This document introduces IGMP snooping configuration examples.

Prerequisites

This document is not restricted to specific software or hardware versions.

The configuration examples in this document were created and verified in a lab environment, and all the switches were started with the factory default configuration. When you are working on a live network, make sure you understand the potential impact of every command on your network.

This document assumes that you have basic knowledge of IGMP snooping.

Example: Configuring multicast group policies

Network configuration

As shown in Figure 1:

·     Router A runs IGMP and acts as the IGMP querier.

·     Switch A runs IGMP snooping.

Configure multicast group policies on Switch A to meet the following requirements:

·     Host A receives only the multicast data addressed to multicast group 224.1.1.1.

·     Host B and Host C receive only the multicast data addressed to multicast group 225.1.1.1.

Figure 1 Network diagram

 

Analysis

To meet the network requirements, you must perform the following tasks:

·     IGMPv2 snooping cannot process IGMPv3 messages. It floods IGMPv3 messages in the VLAN to which the IGMPv3 messages belong. To avoid this problem, specify IGMP snooping version 3 for VLAN 100.

·     To avoid receiver hosts in VLAN 100 from receiving multicast data addressed to other groups, enable dropping unknown multicast data in VLAN 100.

·     To configure multicast group policies, specify a basic ACL and create ACL rules to define the groups that you want the receiver hosts to join.

Restrictions and guidelines

When you configure multicast group polices, follow these restrictions and guidelines:

·     You must globally enable IGMP snooping in system view before you enable IGMP snooping for a VLAN in VLAN view.

·     You can configure multicast group policies for all ports in IGMP-snooping view or for the current port in interface view. The configuration made in interface view takes priority over the configuration made in IGMP-snooping view.

Procedures

1.     Assign an IP address and subnet mask to each interface on the routers in the PIM-DM domain. (Details not shown.)

2.     Configure a unicast routing protocol on the routers in the PIM-DM domain. (Details not shown.)

3.     Enable multicast routing globally on the routers in the PIM-DM domain. (Details not shown.)

4.     Enable PIM-DM for the interfaces through which routers connects with each other on the routers in the PIM-DM domain. (Details not shown.)

5.     Configure Router A:

# Enable IP multicast routing globally.

Verifying the configuration

# Send IGMP reports from Host A, Host B, and Host C to join multicast groups 224.1.1.1, 224.2.2.2, and 225.1.1.1. (Details not shown.)

# Send multicast data from the source to the multicast groups. (Details not shown.)

# Display dynamic IGMP snooping group entries for VLAN 100 on Switch A.

[SwitchA] display igmp-snooping group vlan 100

Total 2 entries.

 

VLAN 100: Total 2 entries.

  (0.0.0.0, 224.1.1.1)

  (0.0.0.0, 225.1.1.1)

    Host ports (2 in total):

Example: Configuring IGMP snooping static ports

Network configuration

As shown in Figure 2:

·     All switches in VLAN 100 run IGMP snooping.

·     Router A runs IGMPv2 and acts as the IGMP querier.

·     STP runs in VLAN 100. The direct route between Switch A and Switch B or the route from Switch A to Switch B with Switch C as the intermediate device is blocked to avoid loops.

Configure IGMP snooping static ports to meet the following requirements:

·     Multicast data uninterruptedly flows to the receiver hosts after a link switchover occurs between Switch A and Switch B.

·     Host A, Host B, and Host C permanently receive the multicast data addressed to multicast group 224.1.1.1.

Figure 2 Network diagram

 

Analysis

To meet the network requirements, you must perform the following tasks:

·     By default, when a link switchover occurs, multicast data can flow along the new link after a minimum of one IGMP query-response cycle. Multicast delivery is interrupted during this process.

Configure GigabitEthernet 1/0/2 and GigabitEthernet 1/0/3 on Switch A, GigabitEthernet 1/0/4 on Switch B, and GigabitEthernet 1/0/2 on Switch C as static router ports. Then, multicast data will be forwarded to these ports.

·     Configure GigabitEthernet 1/0/2 and GigabitEthernet 1/0/3 on Switch B, and GigabitEthernet 1/0/3 on Switch C as static member ports of multicast group 224.1.1.1. Then, multicast data for the group will always be forwarded out of these ports, and Host A, Host B, and Host C can always receive the data.
