N5K L3 multicast

[Dfby649949]

HI,

I am using N5K as a L3 devices for mulicast.(L3 daughter card inserted).

the normal RP address command and interface pim-sparse mode, etc commands are typed in without any problems.

While when I try to add ip igmp static-group x.x.x.x under a SVI, I got a notification:

Note: Forwarding of packets on SVI depends on the Layer 2 configuration

In my experiences. Cisco is not that friendly to warn you in advance, when a note pops up it also means you missed something or you have done something not correct!

I enabled feature PIM and Layer 2 vlan added spanning tree considered.

did I missed anything here ?

Thanks

Michael

Hello Michael,

I saw this message on past. I think in this case is just a reminder.

Do not disable igmp snooping, if you are using vPC.
Do not establish PIM neighborship over vPC member ports. The neighborship is established but the packets are dropped.
