IGMP Snooping Port List

[stephendrkw]

Hi all,

As output below, hosts that want to subscribe multicast from a publisher and are not able to for a particular group 239.181.4.147, all  the other groups in subnet 239.181.4.x work apart from 239.181.4.147, why is Po400 not included in the Port list as below? All hosts sit on the same vlan and on the same switch which is a Layer 2 switch attached to switch SW2-VDC10.

Po400 is a special Po that sends multicast across buildings so that multicast doesn't traverse our OTV network for these streams to work. Po31 is a Po that connects to L2 switch

Hello,

Usually that means we didn't get a membership report on that interface asking for that multicast group. Are we sure membership reports are making it across Po400 to this switch? A packet capture would confirm. 

Without seeing configs it would be difficult to say if you maybe have a filter in place or something. However, if the rest of the multicast works in the vlan, you would think this group would as well. Is the source of 239.181.4.147 over Po31 or Po400?

Hope that helps!

Hi Bradley,

Po31 is the port channel to another VDC which controls all other traffic excluding vlan901

Po400 is the port channel in our Multicast VDC so any multicast for vlan 901 will not route across OTV as above.

Multicast VDC there is a Prefix List:

ip pim auto-rp listen forward
ip pim use-shared-tree-only group-list prefix-list SHARED-TREE-LIST
vlan 901

ip prefix-list SHARED-TREE-LIST

ip prefix-list SHARED-TREE-LIST description multicast groups which are forced to use the shared tree

seq 5 permit 239.181.4.0/24

Hello,

Is the source of 239.181.4.147 local to the switch or is it over Po400? Is there a client over Po400 that is requesting that group? It seems you are not getting an IGMP membership report from a client over Po400. 

That PIM config looks fine. All groups in the 239.181.4.0/24 should behave the same. 

Hope that helps!

Host is on a separate L2 switch. Host ports configured for L2 Vlan901

L2 switch (9300) trunks to Distribution Switch VDC2 (7710) on a different Port channel Po203 on this Switch 7710 we have configured another VDC for Multicast where Po400 is configured and also where the Layer 3 Interface Vlan 901 is configured.

Hope this explains things.
