Cisco Catalyst 9300 Multicast

I'm attempting to enable multicast, it doesn't appear to be difficult to configure but obviously I'm doing something wrong. I would think that if I plug client1 into int1 and send video to the group, I should be able to easily subscribe to it from client2. On the 9300 CLI I can see client1 is sending to the group, but Wireshark running on client2 shows the SW isn't sending advertisements. When I try to tune into the stream on client2 Wireshark shows me that the client is sending solicitations for the multicast but I never see the 9300 respond. Below is the configuration I think is necessary. Please tell me what I'm over looking.

!
ip multicast-routing
!
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/1
switchport access vlan 10
switchport mode access
spanning-tree portfast
!
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/2
switchport access vlan 10
switchport mode access
spanning-tree portfast
!
interface Vlan10

ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
ip pim dense-mode
ip igmp join-group 239.0.0.201

Since this is all in the same vlan, you only need "ip igmp snooping vlan xx" and ip igmp snooping querier address xx.xx.x.x

you really don't need "ip pim dense-mode"

Also, have a look at this link for troubleshooting tips.

Can you share the show running? 

 

You should have the command " ip mfib "

 

and you can add the command to the interface instead:

 

nterface GigabitEthernet1/0/1
switchport access vlan 10

ip pim dense-mode
ip igmp join-group 239.0.0.201
switchport mode access
spanning-tree portfast
!
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/2
switchport access vlan 10

ip pim dense-mode
ip igmp join-group 239.0.0.201
switchport mode access
spanning-tree portfast

Would the querier address be what I have configured as the VLAN 10 gateway, 192.168.1.1? Or something else?

I removed ip pim and ip igmp join-group. My video seems to work within the vlan with just the following:

 

!
ip multicast-routing
!

!
ip igmp snooping querier address 192.168.1.1
ip igmp snooping querier
no ip igmp snooping

!
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/1
switchport access vlan 10
switchport mode access
spanning-tree portfast
!
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/2
switchport access vlan 10
switchport mode access
spanning-tree portfast
!
interface Vlan10
description Video
ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
!

 

Your input helped me configure it to do what I would've liked/expected.

If I wanted to multicast across VLANs, would additional configuration would be necessary?

Hello

Yes - To route MC between vlans you would required to use PIM
