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 Device A and Device B, and Host A and Host C are receivers in a multicast group. IGMP snooping ports are divided into member ports and router ports.

Figure 2 IGMP snooping ports

Router ports

On an IGMP snooping Layer 2 device, the ports toward Layer 3 multicast devices are called router ports. In Figure 2, Port A1 of Device A and Port B1 of Device 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, Port A2 and Port A3 of Device A and Port B2 of Device 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 a static member port" and "Configuring a static router port."

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 devices 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.

NOTE:

A Layer 2 device does not forward an IGMP report through a non-router port because of the host IGMP report suppression mechanism. If a non-router port has member host attached, the member hosts suppress their IGMP reports upon receiving IGMP reports forwarded by the non-router port. The Layer 2 device cannot know the existence of the member hosts attached to the non-router port. 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 Device 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.

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.

To configure IGMP snooping features for VLANs or VSIs, you must enable IGMP snooping for the specific VLANs or VSIs even though IGMP snooping is enabled globally.

Some features can be configured for a VLAN in VLAN view or for multiple VLANs in IGMP-snooping view. The configuration made in VLAN view and the configuration made in IGMP-snooping view have the same priority, and the most recent configuration takes effect.

Some features can be configured for a VLAN in VLAN view or globally for all VLANs in IGMP-snooping view. The VLAN-specific configuration takes priority over the global configuration.

Some features can be configured for a VSI in VSI view or globally for all VSIs in IGMP-snooping view. The VSI-specific configuration takes priority over the global configuration.

Some features can be configured for an interface in interface view or for all interfaces of the specified VLANs in IGMP-snooping view. The interface-specific configuration takes priority over the configuration made in IGMP-snooping view.

Specifying an IGMP snooping version

About this task

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 or VSI instead of processing them.

· IGMPv3 snooping processes IGMPv1, IGMPv2, and IGMPv3 messages.

Restrictions and guidelines

If you change the IGMP snooping version from 2 to 3, the device performs the following actions:

· Clears all IGMP snooping forwarding entries that are dynamically created.

· Keeps static IGMPv3 snooping forwarding entries (*, G).

· Clears static IGMPv3 snooping forwarding entries (S, G), which will be restored when the IGMP snooping version is switched back to 3.

Setting the IGMP last member query interval

About this task

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.

Configuring IGMP snooping port features

Setting aging timers for dynamic ports

About this task

A dynamic router port is removed from the dynamic router port list if it does not receive an IGMP general query or PIM hello message when its aging timer expires.

A dynamic member port is removed from the dynamic member port if it does not receive an IGMP report when its aging timer expires.

Restrictions and guidelines

Set an appropriate value for the aging timers of dynamic ports. For example, if the memberships of multicast groups frequently change, set a relatively small value for the aging timer of the dynamic member ports. If the memberships of multicast groups rarely change, 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."

Configuring a static member port

About this task

You can configure a port as a static member port for a multicast group so that hosts attached to the port can always receive multicast for the group.

Configuring a port as a simulated member host

About this task

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

About this task

This feature enables the Layer 2 device to immediately remove a port from the forwarding entry for a multicast group when the port receives a leave massage. The Layer 2 device no longer sends or forwards IGMP group-specific queries for the group to the port.

Restrictions and guidelines

Do not enable fast-leave processing on a port that has multiple receiver hosts in a VLAN. If you do so, the remaining receivers cannot receive multicast data for a group after a receiver leaves the group.

As a best practice to avoid multicast service interruption on other ports in the same VLAN, enable only IGMP snooping fast-leave processing on a port on a network configured with both IGMP snooping and IGMP. Do not use the igmp fast-leave command to enable IGMP fast-leaving processing. For more information about the igmp fast leave command, see IGMP commands in IP Multicast Command Reference.

Disabling a port from becoming a dynamic router port

About this task

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 Layer 3 devices. These messages might affect the multicast routing protocol state (such as the IGMP querier or DR election) on the Layer 3 devices. 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.

Restrictions and guidelines

This configuration and the static router port configuration do not interfere with each other.

Configuring the IGMP snooping querier

Enabling the IGMP snooping querier

About this task

This feature enables the Layer 2 device to periodically send IGMP general queries to establish and maintain multicast forwarding entries at the data link Layer. You can configure an IGMP snooping querier on a network without Layer 3 multicast devices.

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 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.

Configuring parameters for IGMP general queries and responses

About this task

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.

Restrictions and guidelines

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.

By default, the maximum response time for IGMP general queries is 10 seconds for a VSI.

Enabling IGMP snooping proxying

About this task

The device enabled with IGMP snooping proxying is called an IGMP snooping proxy. The IGMP snooping proxy acts as a host to the upstream device. Enabled with IGMP snooping querier, the IGMP snooping proxy acts as the router to downstream devices and receives report and leave messages on behalf of the upstream device. As a best practice, enable IGMP snooping proxy on the edge device to alleviate the effect caused by excessive packets.

Restrictions and guidelines

Before you enable IGMP snooping proxying for a VLAN or VSI, you must first enable IGMP snooping globally and enable IGMP snooping for the VLAN or VSI. IGMP snooping proxying does not take effect on sub VLANs of a multicast VLAN.

Use this feature with IGMP snooping querier. For more information about enabling IGMP snooping querier, see "Enabling the IGMP snooping querier."

Configuring parameters for IGMP messages

Configuring source IP addresses for IGMP messages

About this task

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.

Configuring IGMP snooping policies

Configuring a multicast group policy

About this task

This feature enables the Layer 2 device to filter IGMP reports by using an ACL that specifies the multicast groups and the optional sources. It is used to control the multicast groups that hosts can join. This configuration takes effect only on the multicast groups that ports join dynamically.

In a multicast application, a host sends an unsolicited IGMP report when a user requests a multicast program. The Layer 2 device uses the multicast group policy to filter the IGMP report. The host can join the multicast group only if the IGMP report is permitted by the multicast group policy.

Enabling dropping unknown multicast data

About this task

This feature enables the Layer 2 device to drop all unknown multicast data. Unknown multicast data refers to multicast data for which no forwarding entries exist in the IGMP snooping forwarding table.

If you do not enable this feature, the unknown multicast data is flooded in the VLAN or VSI to which the data belongs.

Restrictions and guidelines

When dropping unknown IPv4 multicast data is enabled, the device also drops unknown IPv6 multicast data.

When this feature is enabled for a VLAN or VSI, the device still forwards unknown multicast data out of router ports except the receiving router port in this VLAN or VSI.

Setting the maximum number of multicast groups on a port

About this task

You can set the maximum number of multicast groups on a port to regulate the port traffic. This feature takes effect only on the multicast groups that a port joins dynamically.

If the number of multicast groups on a port exceeds the limit, the system removes all the forwarding entries associated with the port. The receiver hosts attached to that port can join multicast groups again before the number of multicast groups on the port reaches the limit. When the number of multicast groups on the port reaches the limit, the port automatically drops IGMP reports for new groups.

igmp-snooping group-limit limit [ vlan vlan-list ]

By default, no limit is placed on the maximum number of multicast groups on a port.

Enabling multicast group replacement

About this task

When multicast group replacement is enabled, the port does not drop IGMP reports for new groups if the number of multicast groups on the port reaches the upper limit. Instead, the port leaves the multicast group that has the lowest IP address and joins the new group contained in the IGMP report. The multicast group replacement feature is typically used in the channel switching application.

Restrictions and guidelines

This feature takes effect only on the multicast groups that a port joins dynamically.

This feature does not take effect if the following conditions exist:

· The number of the IGMP snooping forwarding entries on the device reaches or exceeds the upper limit.

· The multicast group that the port newly joins is not included in the multicast group list maintained by the device.

IGMP snooping configuration examples

Example: Configuring VLAN-based IGMP snooping group polices and simulated joining

Network configuration

As shown in Figure 4, Router A runs IGMPv2 and acts as the IGMP querier. Device 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 3/1/3 and Ten-GigabitEthernet 3/1/4 of Device A uninterruptedly, even though Host A and Host B fail to receive the multicast data.

· Device A will drop unknown multicast data instead of flooding it in VLAN 100 .

Example: Configuring VLAN-based IGMP snooping static ports

Network configuration

As shown in Figure 5:

· Router A runs IGMPv2 and acts as the IGMP querier. Device A, Device B, and Device 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 3/1/3 and Ten-GigabitEthernet 3/1/5 on Device 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 Device A to Device C is blocked. Multicast data flows to the receivers attached to Device C only along the path of Device A—Device B—Device 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 Device A—Device C. In this case, the multicast delivery is interrupted during the process. For more information about the STP, see Layer 2—LAN Deviceing Configuration Guide.

Configure Ten-GigabitEthernet 3/1/3 on Device A as a static router port. Then, multicast data can flow to the receivers nearly uninterruptedly along the path of Device A—Device C when the path of Device A—Device B—Device C is blocked.

Example: Configuring the VLAN-based IGMP snooping querier

Network configuration

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. Device 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.

Example: Configuring VXLAN-based IGMP snooping

Network configuration

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 issue:

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 IGMP snooping globally. 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 issue 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 issue:

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 drop-unknown or igmp-snooping drop-unknown command to enable dropping unknown multicast data.

4. If the issue persists, contact H3C Support.
