1.1 IGMP Snooping Overview
1.1.1 IGMP Snooping Principle
Running at the data link layer, IGMP Snooping is a multicast control mechanism on the
Layer 2 Ethernet switch and it is used for multicast group management and control.
When receiving IGMP messages transmitted between the host and router, the Layer 2
Ethernet switch uses IGMP Snooping to analyze the information carried in the IGMP
messages. If the switch hears IGMP host report message from an IGMP host, it will add
the host to the corresponding multicast table. If the switch hears IGMP leave message
from an IGMP host, it will remove the host from the corresponding multicast table. The
switch creates and maintains a MAC multicast address table at Layer 2 by continuously
listening to IGMP messages. After that, the switch can forward the multicast packets
transmitted from the upstream router according to the MAC multicast address table.
When IGMP Snooping is disabled, packets are broadcasted at Layer 2. See the
following figure:

1.1.2 IGMPv3 Snooping
I. IGMPv3 overview
In addition to compatibility with and inheritance from IGMPv1 and IGMPv2, IGMPv3
provides an enhanced host control capability. A host can not only join a designated
multicast group but also specify to receive information from a designated multicast
source.

Note:
S8500 series switches support IGMPv1 and IGMPv2, but they do not support IGMPv3
currently.

IGMP queries fall into general queries and group-specific queries. This section mainly
introduces IGMPv3 messages that are different from in IGMPv2.
1) Query messages
The following figure shows the differences between IGMPv2 and IGMPv3 query
messages:
The size of an IGMPv2 general query is eight bytes and that of an IGMPv3 general
query is twelve bytes.
The size of an IGMPv 2 group-specific query is eight bytes and that of an IGMPv3
general query is equal to or greater than twelve bytes.
The size of an IGMPv3 source-and-group-specific query is greater than twelve
bytes.

IGMPv2 cannot recognize IGMPv3 membership report messages.
Upon receiving an IGMPv3 report, the device transmits the IGMPv3 query
transparently in the VLAN and converts it into an IGMPv2 report for further
processing.

Figure 1-4 Message formats of IGMPv2 and IGMPv3 membership reports
II. Message processing in IGMPv3 Snooping on an S8500 switch

Note:
Currently, the device supports only the INCLUDE mode of source filtering in IGMPv3
reports, that is, IGMPv3 report messages are converted to IGMPv2 reports except
those with the filtering mode set to include { NULL }, which are converted to IGMPv2
leave messages.

With IGMPv3 Snooping enabled, upon receiving an IGMPv3 query, the device
transmits the IGMPv3 query transparently in the VLAN and then converts it into an
IGMPv2 report for further processing.
1.1.3 Implementing IGMP Snooping
I. Concepts related to IGMP Snooping
To facilitate the description, this section first introduces some concepts related to IGMP
Snooping.
Router Port: The port that connects the switch to a multicast router and resides on
the switch, instead of the router.
Multicast member port: The Ethernet switch port connected to a multicast member.
The multicast member refers to a host joined a multicast group.

1-5
MAC multicast group: The multicast group is identified by MAC multicast address
and maintained by the Ethernet switch.
Router port aging time: Time set on the router port aging timer. If the switch has
not received any IGMP general query message when the timer expires, it
considers the port no longer as a router port.
Multicast group member port aging time: When a port joins an IP multicast group,
the aging timer of the port is started. The multicast group member port aging time
is set on this aging timer. If no IGMP report or PIM hello message reaches the port
when the timer expires the switch sends a multicast group-specific query message.
When the maximum response time expires, if no IGMP report reaches the port, the
switch judges that the port is no longer a member port.
Maximum response time: When the switch transmits IGMP group-specific query
message to the multicast member port, the Ethernet switch starts a response timer.
The maximum response time refers to the timer length. If the switch has not
received any IGMP report message before the timer expires, it will remove the port
from the multicast member ports.
II. Implementing Layer 2 multicast with IGMP Snooping
The Ethernet switch runs IGMP Snooping to listen to IGMP messages and map the
host and its ports to the corresponding multicast group address. To implement IGMP
Snooping, the Layer 2 Ethernet switch processes different IGMP messages in the way
illustrated in the figure below:
IGMP
message
An Ethernet switch
running IGMP
Snooping
IGMP
message
A router
running IGMP
Internet

Figure 1-5 Implement IGMP Snooping
1) IGMP general query message: Transmitted by the multicast router to the multicast
group members to query which multicast group contains a member. When an
IGMP general query message arrives at the router port, the Ethernet switch will
reset the aging timer of the port. When a port other than the router port receives
the IGMP general query message, the Ethernet switch will start the aging timer for
the port.

1-6
2) IGMP group-specific query message: IGMP group-specific query messages are
used to find out whether a particular group still has members on the local subnet.
Upon hearing an IGMP group-specific query message, the switch sends the
group-specific query message only to the multicast group being queried.
3) IGMP report message: IGMP report messages are sent by hosts to the multicast
router to join multicast groups or report their group memberships in response to
IGMP query messages. Upon hearing an IGMP report message, the switch
checks whether the MAC multicast group corresponding to the reported IP
multicast group exists and proceeds accordingly.
If the MAC multicast group does not exist, the switch notifies the router that a
member is ready to join the reported multicast group, creates a new MAC-based
forwarding entry, adds the port that received the report message to the entry,
starts an aging timer for the port, and then adds all the router ports in the native
VLAN of the port into the MAC multicast forwarding table.
If the corresponding MAC multicast group exists but does not contain the port
received the report message, the switch adds the port into the multicast group and
starts the port aging timer.
If the MAC multicast group exists and contains the port that received the message,
the switch will only reset the aging timer of the port.
4) IGMP leave message: Transmitted from the multicast group member to the
multicast router to notify that a host left the multicast group. Upon hearing a leave
message for an IP multicast group, the Ethernet switch sends a group-specific
query message for that group to the port on which it heard the message, to check
whether any other active members for that group are attached to the port, and
meanwhile starts a maximum response timer. If the switch receives no report
message for that multicast group before the timer expires, the port will be removed
from the corresponding MAC-based forwarding table entry. If the switch has no
more member ports for that MAC multicast group, the switch will notify the
upstream multicast router to prune the branch off the multicast distribution tree.

Note:
You can configure a port of a Layer 2 switch as a multicast group member to
respond to an IGMP query message of a multicast router, so as to prevent the
multicast router from canceling the corresponding path if there is no multicast
member in the current network segment. For details, refer to the part of configuring
a router to join a multicast group in IGMP Configuration.
By default, ports of a Layer 2 switch do not belong to any multicast group. Note that,
the specified port must belong to an IGMP Snooping-enabled VLAN. Otherwise, the
configuration will not work.

1.2.1 Enabling IGMP Snooping
You can control the creation and maintenance of MAC multicast tables at Layer 2 by
enabling IGMP Snooping.
I. Configuration prerequisites
Make sure Layer 2 and Layer 3 multicast protocols are not enabled in the same
VLAN or on the same VLAN interface.
VLAN VPN is disabled in the VLAN.
II. Configuration procedure
Follow these steps to enable IGMP Snooping:
To do... Use the command... Remarks
Enter system view system-view
Enable IGMP Snooping
igmp-snooping { enable
| disable }
Required
IGMP Snooping is
disabled by default.
Enter VLAN view vlan vlan-id
igmp-snooping { enable
| disable }
Required
IGMP Snooping is
disabled by default.
Display IGMP Snooping
configuration
display igmp-snooping
configuration
The display command
can be executed in any
view.


1-8
Caution:
Before configuring IGMP Snooping, first enable it globally in system view and then
enable it in VLAN view. Otherwise, the configuration will not work.
IGMP Snooping is applicable to isolate-user VLANs. If IGMP Snooping is enabled in
an isolate-user VLAN, it is enabled in all the secondary VLANs. Therefore, enabling
IGMP Snooping in a secondary VLAN is not necessary.
The IGMP packets in a secondary VLAN are processed in the isolate-user VLAN.
That is, for a user-isolate VLAN, all the multicast services are processed in the
isolate-user VLAN.
A port in a secondary VLAN cannot be used for receiving multicast traffic.

1.2.2 Configuring IGMP Snooping Parameters
IGMP Snooping parameters include:
Router port aging time
Maximum response time
Multicast group member port aging time
IGMP Snooping is enabled globally.
Perform the following operations to configure IGMP Snooping parameters:

1-9
1.2.3 Disabling Flooding of Unknown Multicast Packets in the VLAN
If neither IGMP Snooping nor Layer 3 multicast is enabled in a VLAN, unknown
multicast packets are flooded in the VLAN. Therefore, to disable unknown multicast
packets from being flooded in a VLAN, you need to enable IGMP Snooping in the VLAN
and execute the igmp-snooping nonflooding-enable command.
IGMP Snooping is enabled in the VLAN.
For a general board
Follow these steps to disable flooding of unknown multicast packets in the VLAN on a
general board:
Disable flooding of
unknown multicast
packets in the VLAN
igmp-snooping
nonflooding-enable
By default, multicast
packets are flooded in a
VLAN.

For a special board
Follow these steps to disable flooding of unknown multicast packets in the VLAN on a
special board:
Disable flooding of
unknown multicast
packets in multiple VLANs
on the 10GE boards
igmp-snooping
10ge-non-flooding
enable slot slot-num
By default, 10GE boards
do not support
non-flooding of unknown
multicast packets.

1-10
Caution:
The configuration listed in the above table is recommended for 10 GE ports on
LSB1XP2B0, LSB1XK1B0, and LSB1TGX1B0 boards (including 110 GE and 210
GE boards) only when Layer 2 multicast is not flooded in multiple VLANs and
inter-board and intra-board forwarding are not required.
After you perform the configuration successfully, the board restarts automatically
and your configuration will take effect.
When the board is not in position, the commands do not take effect.

1.2.4 Configuring an ACL for Filtering Multicast Groups
Follow these steps to configure an ACL for filtering multicast groups:
Apply an ACL for
filtering multicast
groups in the VLAN
igmp-snooping
group-policy
acl-number
Required
By default, the ACL for filtering
multicast groups is not configured
in a VLAN. In this case, a host can
join any multicast group.
After the ACL for filtering multicast
groups is configured, the multicast
groups that are not permitted by
the ACL cannot be created.


1-11
Caution:
If the ACL applied to a VLAN does not exist or contain any rule, the host cannot join
any multicast group.
The rules of the ACL for filtering multicast groups are not limited by the ACL. This
function applies to all the members in the specified VLAN.
The rules for filtering multicast groups take effect only when the configuration policy
bound to the ACL number exists.
The rules for filtering multicast groups have no effect on locally configured static
multicast groups.

1.2.5 Configuring the Fast Leave Function
Follow these steps to configure the fast leave function:
Enable the fast leave
function
igmp-snooping
fast-leave [ vlan { vlan-id
[ to vlan-id ] } &<1-10> ]
This function is disabled
by default.
Enter Ethernet port view
interface interface-type
interface-number

Enable the fast leave
function
igmp-snooping
fast-leave [ vlan { vlan-id
[ to vlan-id ] } &<1-10> ]
This function is disabled
by default

Note:
The fast leave configuration performed in system view and that performed in port view
are independent of each other. That is, the configuration performed in system view is
effective to all the ports in the specified VLAN, whereas the configuration performed in
port view is effective for the port in the specified VLAN. For example, a trunk port
belongs to multiple VLANs.


1-12
Caution:
The fast leave function cannot take effect if the specified VLAN does not exist, the
port does not belong to the specified VLAN, or IGMP Snooping is not enabled in the
VLAN.
If you enable IGMP Snooping again, the original configuration of fast leave will be
cleared.
You cannot configure this command when IGMP Snooping is not enabled globally.
(You can use the igmp-snooping enable command in system view to enable IGMP
Snooping globally.)
For an aggregation port, the fast leave function only takes effects on the master
aggregation port.
If an IGMPv1 host in the same group joins the port, even if fast leave is enabled on
the port, it does not take effect.

1.2.6 Static Router Port Configuration
By configuring a port in a VLAN to be a static router port, you can enable IGMP packets
to be transparently transmitted through the port, meeting the requirements of specific
networks.
I. Prerequisites
The port and VLAN involved already exist.
The port to be configured belong to the corresponding VLAN.
II. Configuring a static router port
Follow these steps to configure a port in a VLAN to be a static router port in VLAN view:
Configure a static
router port
multicast
static-router-port
port-number
The port-number argument is in the
format of interface-type
interface-number, where the
interface-type argument can only
be Ethernet port type.
By default, no static router port is
configured.


1-13
Follow these steps to configure a port in a VLAN to be a static router port in Ethernet
port view:
Enter Ethernet port view
interface interface-type
interface-number
The interface-type
argument can only be
Ethernet port type.
Configure a static router
port
multicast
static-router-port vlan
vlan-id
By default, no static router
port is configured.

Caution:
You will fail to configure a port to be a static router port if the port identified by the
port-number argument does not exist, or the port does not belong to the VLAN.
You will fail to configure a port to be a static router port if the VLAN identified by the
vlan-id argument does not exist or the port does not belong to the VLAN.
You can configure multiple ports in a VLAN to be static router ports by performing
the above configuration repeatedly. The newly configured ports do not overwrite the
existing static router ports.
When a trunk port belongs to multiple VLANs, this port can be configured as the
static router port for multiple VLANs.
Static router ports can be configured in VLAN view or Ethernet port view. However,
you can verify the configured static router ports only by executing the display this
command in Ethernet port view.
The configuration of a static router port takes effect on the current port only, no
matter whether the current port is an aggregated port or not. To configure all ports in
an aggregation group as static router ports, you can enable the static router port
function on all the ports in the aggregation group.
The static router port is valid when IGMP Snooping, IGMP, PIM-DM or PIM-SM is
enabled in the VLAN.

1.2.7 Configuring IGMP Snooping Multicast Data Load Balancing
After IGMP Snooping is enabled in a VLAN, multicast packets will be flooded in the
VLAN if no port has joined the destination multicast group. With IGMP Snooping
non-flooding enabled, data packets are not flooded in the VLAN but are forwarded to
router ports if no member port for the destination multicast group exists. Since multicast
routers send IGMP query and PIM Hello messages periodically, the switch can

1-14
recognize which ports are router ports. If neither member ports nor router ports exist,
multicast packets are dropped.
When a user joins a multicast group, the device deletes the original multicast MAC
address created by IGMP-snooping non-flooding and creates a new IGMP-snooping
multicast MAC address. With the IGMP Snooping non-flooding function enabled, if any
router port is in an aggregation group, the system can evenly distribute unknown
multicast traffic to different aggregation ports according to the hash algorithm, thus
implementing load balancing of multicast traffic.
Follow these steps to configure IGMP Snooping multicast non-flooding:
Enable IGMP Snooping igmp-snooping enable Required
non-flooding
igmp-snooping
nonflooding-enable
Required
Configure aging time point
for IGMP Snooping
non-flooding entries
igmp-snooping

Optional
Display the configuration
information
configuration
The display command
view

Caution:
When you enable IGMP Snooping non-flooding, a aging time point is configured.
The default aging time point is 3:00:00.
After you disable IGMP Snooping or IGMP Snooping non-flooding, the aging time
point is invalidated at the same time.

1.2.8 Configuring an IGMP Snooping Querier
IGMP Snooping runs on Layer 2 switches connecting with users and layer-3 devices.
Layer-3 devices send general queries to maintain membership in the local subnet. The
IGMP Snoopingenabled device maintains Layer 2 multicast forwarding tables by
listening to IGMP messages. Where Layer 2 multicast is implemented without the need
of Layer-3 devices, IGMP Snooping queriers can establish and maintain multicast
forwarding tables.
IGMP Snooping queriers are used in Layer 2only multicast networks.

Display the IGMP
Snooping configuration
information in a VLAN

The display command can
be executed in any view.

Note:
The default source IP address of IGMP general queries is 0.0.0.0. If you configure
the IGMP Snooping querier to use the primary IP address of the current VLAN
interface as the source IP address of IGMP general queries and the device fails to
obtain the primary IP address of the virtual interface, the default source IP address,
namely, 0.0.0.0, will be used. For compatibility with devices that do not support
general messages with the source IP address 0.0.0.0, you need to configure the
source IP address manually.
If you need to configure multiple queriers, it is advisable that you configure a longer
query interval to prevent deterioration of device performance caused by too many
IGMP general queries.

1.2.9 Configuring IGMP Report Replay Suppression
If IGMP Snooping relays (namely, forwards without any change) every IGMP report
message it hears on an IGMP-Snooping-enabled VLAN interface immediately to router
ports in the VLAN, the upstream device may suffer from a big burden. Therefore, IGMP
report relay needs to be suppressed in an IGMP-Snooping-enabled VLAN.

1-17
With the IGMP report relay suppression function enabled, within each query cycle, the
Layer 2 device relays only the first IGMP report per multicast group to the Layer 3
device and will not relay the subsequent IGMP reports for the same multicast group to
the Layer 3 device. This helps reduce the number of packets being transmitted over the
network.

Note:
Currently, S8500 series switches do not support suppression of IGMPv3 messages.
The IGMP report relay suppression feature is effective only for a VLAN with IGMP
Snooping enabled.

II. Enabling IGMP report transparent transmission suppression

III. Configuration procedure
Suppose you need to enable IGMP Snooping on VLAN 10. The configuration
procedure is as follows:
# Display the current state of IGMP Snooping.
<Quidway> display igmp-snooping configuration
# If IGMP Snooping is not enabled, enable it in system view.
<Quidway> system-view
System View: return to User View with Ctrl+Z.
[Quidway] igmp-snooping enable
# Display the status of VLAN-interface 10, to check if PIM or IGMP is enabled on this
interface.
[Quidway] display current-configuration interface vlan-interface 10
# Enable IGMP Snooping in VLAN view only if PIM or IGMP is not running on VLAN 10
(IGMP Snooping can be enabled in a VLAN only if PIM and IGMP are not running in the
VLAN).

[Quidway-vlan10] igmp-snooping enable
1.5 Troubleshooting IGMP Snooping
Symptom: The multicast function cannot be implemented on the switch.
Analysis and solutions:
1) IGMP Snooping is disabled.
Carry out the display current-configuration command in any view to display the
status of IGMP Snooping.
If IGMP Snooping is not enabled, carry out the igmp-snooping enable command
in system view to enable IGMP Snooping. Then, use the same command in VLAN
view to enable IGMP Snooping in the corresponding VLAN.
2) Multicast forwarding table set up by IGMP Snooping is incorrect.
Carry out the display igmp-snooping group command in any view to display if
the multicast group is the expected one.
