Multicast application not working

Hi

I have a multi-VLAN network on which we are running live stats from a server (on VLAN6) out to a client (on VLAN2) using multicast. I am using Cisco 3560 switches to route ip traffic between VLANs but they are only running IPBase software so can not add mroute config into the VLAN. So I have enabled IGMP on all switches and a snooping querier on the main L3 3560 (as I believe this will allow routing between the VLANs). I am seeing all the snooping groups and can see the mcast IP addresses used by the systems but the traffic will not flow.

I can not ping the mcast IP Address and can not see anything joining the groups. Other mcast traffic is visible and I can see devices joined there but not on the specific group I am looking at. Here are the config specifics

I have a feeling I will have to put a new version of IOS on the switches to enable mrouting in the VLAN configuration but if anyone can advise then that would be greatly appreciated

Hi David,

It looks to me like you will need to upgrade to an image that supports multicast routing in order to get the multicast to flow between VLANs... That way you can enable PIM on the relevant VLAN interfaces and things should start to move through...

As far as I know, the IGMP snooping querier is used to forward IGMP membership queries on interfaces where PIM is not enabled - you still need to have a multicast router to actually do the forwarding of the traffic.

Many thanks

Jonathan
