Configuring source IP addresses for IGMP queries

After a switch receives an IGMP query whose source IP address is 0.0.0.0 on a port, it does not enlist that
port as a dynamic router port. This might prevent multicast forwarding entries from being correctly

created at the data link layer and eventually cause multicast traffic forwarding to fail. To avoid this

problem, when a Layer 2 switch acts as the IGMP snooping querier, H3C recommends that you configure

a non-all-zero IP address as the source IP address of IGMP queries.

IMPORTANT:

Changing the source address of IGMP queries might affect the IGMP querier election within the subnet.

To configure source IP addresses for IGMP queries:

Step Command

Remarks

1.

Enter system view.

2.

Enter VLAN view.

vlan vlan-id

N/A

3.

Configure the source IP
address for IGMP general

queries.

igmp-snooping general-query source-ip
{ ip-address | current-interface }

0.0.0.0 by default.

4.

Configure the source IP
address for IGMP

group-specific queries.

igmp-snooping special-query source-ip
{ ip-address | current-interface }

0.0.0.0 by default.

Configuring IGMP snooping proxying

Before you configure IGMP snooping proxying in a VLAN, complete the following tasks:

Enable IGMP snooping for the VLAN.

Determine the source IP address for the IGMP reports sent by the proxy.

Determine the source IP address for the IGMP leave messages sent by the proxy.

Enabling IGMP snooping proxying

The IGMP snooping proxying function operates on a per-VLAN basis. After you enable the function in a

VLAN, the device operates as the IGMP snooping proxy for the downstream hosts and upstream router
in the VLAN.
To enable IGMP snooping proxying in a VLAN:
