H3C S5500-EI - Troubleshooting IGMP Snooping; Layer 2 Multicast Forwarding Cannot Function

55
Assume that Source 2 starts sending multicast traffic to 224.1.1.1. Use the display multicast
forwarding-table to display the multicast forwarding table information.
# Display information about 224.1.1.1 in the multicast forwarding table on Switch A.
[SwitchA] display multicast forwarding-table 224.1.1.1
Multicast Forwarding Table of VPN-Instance: public net
Total 1 entry
Total 1 entry matched
00001. (1.1.1.1, 224.1.1.1)
MID: 0, Flags: 0x0:0

Matched 19648 packets(20512512 bytes), Wrong If 0 packets
Forwarded 19648 packets(20512512 bytes)
The output shows that Switch A maintains a multicast forwarding entry for multicast packets from Source
1 to 224.1.1.1. No forwarding entry exists for packets from Source 2 to 224.1.1.1, which indicates that
multicast packets from Source 2 are blocked.
Troubleshooting IGMP snooping
Layer 2 multicast forwarding cannot function
Symptom
Layer 2 multicast forwarding cannot function.
Analysis
IGMP snooping is not enabled.
Solution
1. Use the display current-configuration command to check the running status of IGMP snooping.
2. If IGMP snooping is not enabled, use the igmp-snooping command to enable IGMP snooping
globally, and then use the igmp-snooping enable command to enable IGMP snooping in VLAN
view.
3. If IGMP snooping is disabled only for the corresponding VLAN, use the igmp-snooping enable
command in VLAN view to enable IGMP snooping in the corresponding VLAN.
