Solution

1) Check that the networking, interface connection, and IP address configuration are correct.

Check the interface information with the display igmp interface command. If there is no

information output, the interface is in an abnormal state. This is usually because you have

configured the shutdown command on the interface, the interface is not properly

connected, or the IP address configuration is not correctly done.

2) Check that multicast routing is enabled. Carry out the display current-configuration

command to check whether the multicast routing-enable command has been executed. If

not, carry out the multicast routing-enable command in system view to enable IP

multicast routing. In addition, check that IGMP is enabled on the corresponding interfaces.

3) Check the IGMP version on the interface. You can use the display igmp interface

command to check whether the IGMP version on the interface is lower than that on the

host.

4) Check that no ACL rule has been configured to restrict the host from joining the multicast

group G. Carry out the display current-configuration interface command to check

whether the igmp group-policy command has been executed. If the host is restricted from

joining the multicast group G, the ACL rule must be modified to allow receiving the reports

for the multicast group G.

Inconsistent Memberships on Routers on the Same Subnet

Symptom

Different memberships are maintained on different IGMP routers on the same subnet.

Analysis

z

A router running IGMP maintains multiple parameters for each interface, and these

parameters influence one another, forming very complicated relationships. Inconsistent

IGMP interface parameter configurations for routers on the same subnet will surely result in

inconsistency of memberships.

z

In addition, although an IGMP router is compatible with a host that is running a different

IGMP version, all routers on the same subnet must run the same version of IGMP.

Inconsistent IGMP versions running on routers on the same subnet will also lead to

inconsistency of IGMP memberships.

Solution

1) Check the IGMP configuration. Carry out the display current-configuration command to

view the IGMP configuration information on the interfaces.

2) Carry out the display igmp interface command on all routers on the same subnet to check

the IGMP-related timer settings. Make sure that the settings are consistent on all the

routers.

3) Use

the

display igmp interface command to check whether all the routers on the same

subnet are running the same version of IGMP.
