28.9.4 IGMP Troubleshooting

In configuring and using IGMP Protocol, IGMP Protocol might not operate normally caused by

physical connection or incorrect configuration. Therefore, user should pay attention to the

following issues:

Firstly to assure that physical connection is correct;

Next, to assure the Protocol of Interface and Link protocol is UP (use show interface

command);

Afterwards, to assure to start a kind of multicast protocol on the interface;

Multicast Protocol requires RPF Check using unicast routing; therefore the correctness of

unicast routing must be assured beforehand.

28.10 IGMP Snooping

28.10.1 Introduction to IGMP Snooping

IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) is a protocol used in IP multicast. IGMP is used

by multicast enabled network device (such as a router) for host membership query, and by

hosts that are joining a multicast group to inform the router to accept packets of a certain

multicast address. All those operations are done through IGMP message exchange. The router

will use a multicast address (224.0.0.1) that can address to all hosts to send an IGMP host

membership query message. If a host wants to join a multicast group, it will reply to the

multicast address of that a multicast group with an IGMP host membership reports a message.

IGMP Snooping is also referred to as IGMP listening. The switch prevents multicast traffic from

flooding through IGMP Snooping, multicast traffic is forwarded to ports associated to multicast

devices only. The switch listens to the IGMP messages between the multicast router and hosts,

and maintains multicast group forwarding table based on the listening result, and can then

decide to forward multicast packets according to the forwarding table.

Switch provides IGMP Snooping and is able to send a query from the switch so that the user

can use switch in IP multicast.
