Enabling multicast routing in cisco2960S lan switch

[jegan1234]

1)To enable multicast routing in cisco2960S lan switch

2)One of the cisco2960S interfaces will be connected to Paging gateway with Static IP.

3)Another interface will be connected to a IP Speaker

4)We already have a voice vlan SVI in cisco2960S lan switch.

5)The aim is to enable multicast routing between Speaker and the paging gateway thorugh the same voice vlan (within same cisco2960S lan switch)

6)Configuration needed to execute the above.

Hi

As your Cisco switch 2960 which is layer 2 , you have only to use the below

ip igmp snooping          This will enable multicast for all existing VLANs which not recommended

ip igmp snooping vlan vlan-id     This only for a specific VLAN

Thank you

Hi

Firstly you have to know that only routers or L3 devices which is used for  Multicast . For l2 swtches ony used for unicast or igmp join multicast . So based on the above post , all are ok except (ip pim sparse-dense-mode).you need for Cisco switches igmp join to join your multicast. IP pim sparse-mode is required under l3 interface devices which is participate in multicast routing.
