Hi,
I am trying to enable IGMP snooping on a 3560, which is located between a 4924 and 4500, both of which are configured with "ip pim sparse-mode" on the interfaces that face each other, and belong to the same VLAN. Multicast traffic is streaming from a port connected to the 4924 in the direction of the 4500, but I need to have the 3560 open or close the port to the 4924 for select groups - hence IGMP snooping.
The 4500 is currently configured with "ip igmp helper-address <address_of_4924>", as it needs to forward the IGMP join/leave requests from the Set-Top Boxes that are connected to it towards the 4924, in order to trigger the opening/closing of ports on the 3560.
The issue that I am currently seeing is that the 3560 is detecting both ports - the port to the 4924 and the port to the 4500 - as mrouter ports, and hence it is not stopping the flow of multicast traffic towards the 4500, even when there are no receivers.
REX#sh ip igmp snooping mrouter
Vlan ports
---- -----
70 Gi0/1(dynamic), Gi0/48(dynamic)
In order to prevent the 3560 forwarding the m/cast traffic to the 4500 when there are no receivers present, I need to prevent Gi0/1 from being detected as a mrouter port. Are there any commands that I can use to do this? What about ACLs? I have tried denying "igmp any any host-query" inbound on the 3560, and/or outbound on the 4500, but this doesn't seem to work.
Regards,
Brett.
