Hi,
I have a query regarding multicast in Nexus 5K.
I have two Nexus 5596 switches connected to each other and have multiple VLANs configured on both switches
say VLAN 10,20,30 & 40
I need to run IGMP snooping which is by default enabled...Nexus 5596 is purely running in L2 mode and I want to configure IGMP snooping querier.
In NX-OS, IGMP snooping querier must be configured under vlan mode and not on L3 interface ( In Cisco IOS Software, an IGMP Snooping Querier is configured under the layer-3 interface.)
1) If an IGMP snooping querier is configured on both switches, only one of them will be active because an IGMP snooping querier shuts down if a query is seen in the traffic.-- what it means about shutting down IGMP snooping querier. Does it disable L2 vlan on other switch. What does it exactly do.
vlan 10
ip igmp snooping-querier 192.168.10.1
vlan 20
ip igmp snooping-querier 192.168.20.1
vlan 30
ip igmp snooping-querier 192.168.30.1
vlan 40
ip igmp snooping-querier 192.168.40.1
If I enable igmp snooping querier on both switchesand current IGNMP snooping querier fails, will the other automatically start functioning as querier?
Thanks & Rgds,
Mukund Sandur
