Configuring multicast forwarding on a downstream interface

CAUTION:

On a multi-access network with more than one IGMP proxy device, you cannot enable multicast
forwarding on any other non-querier downstream interface after one of the downstream interfaces of

these IGMP proxy devices has been elected as the querier. Otherwise, duplicate multicast flows might be
received on the multi-access network.

Only queriers can forward multicast traffic but non-queriers have no multicast forwarding capabilities, to
avoid duplicate multicast flows. It is the same on IGMP proxy devices. Only the downstream interfaces

acting as a querier can forward multicast traffic to downstream hosts.
However, when a downstream interface of a proxy device fails to win the querier election, you must

enable multicast forwarding on this interface.
To enable multicast forwarding on a downstream interface:

Step Command

Remarks

1.

Enter system view.

system-view

N/A

2.

Enter interface view.

interface interface-type
interface-number

N/A

3.

Enable multicast forwarding on

a non-querier downstream
interface.

igmp proxying forwarding

Disabled by default.

Displaying and maintaining IGMP

CAUTION:

The reset igmp group commands might cause multicast data transmission failures.

To display and maintain IGMP:

Task Command

Display IGMP group information.

display igmp [ all-instance | vpn-instance
vpn-instance-name ] group [ group-address |
interface interface-type interface-number ]

[ static | verbose ] [ | { begin | exclude |

include } regular-expression ]

Available in any view.

Display the Layer 2 port
information of IGMP groups (in
standalone mode).

display igmp group port-info [ vlan vlan-id ]
[ slot slot-number ] [ verbose ] [ | { begin |
exclude | include } regular-expression ]

Available in any view.
