How to disable NX-OS Optimised Multicast Flood (OMF)

from88
Level 4
Level 4

Hello,

We've a cisco Nexus9000 NXOS: version 7.0(3)I4(4). Some servers need to send L2 mcast packets to flood between themselfes. I've noticed that "Optimised Multicast Flood (OMF)" is blocking multicast flooding between servers. So i need to disable this security feature. But the question how ?

 

IGMP Snooping information for vlan 1320
IGMP snooping enabled
Lookup mode: IP
Optimised Multicast Flood (OMF) enabled

Some configuration guides says that it can be disabled in global or in vlan configuration view, but i dont see that option:

NXOS (config)# no ip igmp snooping ?
<CR> 
event-history Configure event-history buffers
group-timeout Configures group membership timeout in all VLAN/BDs
link-local-groups-suppression Configures Global link-local groups suppression

proxy Configures IGMP snooping proxy

you dont need to disable OMF in N9k, as OMF is not there. its only for N7k due to a hardware limitation. Refer: CSCul57924
