Chapter 43 Ipv4 Multicast Protocol

43-50

Multicast Configuration

Suppose two programs are provided in the Multicast Server using multicast address Group1 and Group2,

three of four hosts running multicast applications are connected to port 2, 6, 10 plays program1, while the host

is connected to port 12 plays program 2.

IGMP Snooping listening result:

The multicast table built by IGMP Snooping in VLAN 100 indicates ports 1, 2, 6, 10 in Group1 and ports 1, 12

in Group2.

All the four hosts can receive the program of their choice: ports 2, 6, 10 will not receive the traffic of program 2

and port 12 will not receive the traffic of program 1.

Scenario 2: L2-general-querier

Figure

43-11 The switches as IGMP Queries

The configuration of Switch2 is the same as the switch in scenario 1, SwitchA takes the place of Multicast

Router in scenario 1. Let’s assume VLAN 60 is configured in SwitchA, including ports 1, 2, 6, 10 and 12. Port

1 connects to the multicast server, and port 2 connects to Switch2. In order to send Query at regular interval,

IGMP query must enabled in Global mode and in VLAN60.

The configuration steps are listed below:

SwitchA#config

SwitchA(config)#ip igmp snooping

SwitchA(config)#ip igmp snooping vlan 60

SwitchA(config)#ip igmp snooping vlan 60 L2-general-querier

SwitchB#config

SwitchB(config)#ip igmp snooping

SwitchB(config)#ip igmp snooping vlan 100

SwitchB(config)#ip igmp snooping vlan 100 mrouter interface ethernet 1/1
