Solution

Step1

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.

Step2

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.

Step3

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.

Step4

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

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.

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 also leads to inconsistency of IGMP memberships.

Solution

Step1

Check the IGMP configuration. Carry out the display current-configuration command to view the
IGMP configuration information on the interfaces.

Step2

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.

Step3

Use the display igmp interface command to check whether all the routers on the same subnet are
running the same version of IGMP.
