Overview of IGMP Snooping

This section includes the following subsections:

•Immediate-Leave Processing

•IGMP Configurable-Leave Timer

•IGMP Snooping Querier

•Explicit Host Tracking

Note Quality of service does not apply to IGMP packets.

IGMP snooping allows a switch to snoop or capture information from IGMP packets transmitted between hosts and a router. Based on this information, a switch adds or deletes multicast addresses from its address table, thereby enabling (or disabling) multicast traffic from flowing to individual host ports. IGMP snooping supports all versions of IGMP: IGMPv1, IGMPv2, and IGMPv3.

In contrast to IGMPv1 and IGMPv2, IGMPv3 snooping provides immediate-leave processing by default. It provides Explicit Host Tracking (EHT) and allows network administrators to deploy SSM functionality on Layer 2 devices that truly support IGMPv3. (See the "Explicit Host Tracking" section.)

In subnets where IGMP is configured, IGMP snooping manages multicast traffic at Layer 2. You can configure interfaces to dynamically forward multicast traffic only to those interfaces that are interested in receiving it by using the switchport keyword.

IGMP snooping restricts traffic in MAC multicast groups 0100.5e00.0001 to 01-00-5e-ff-ff-ff. IGMP snooping does not restrict Layer 2 multicast packets generated by routing protocols.

Note For more information on IP multicast and IGMP, refer to RFC 1112, RFC 2236, RFC 3376 (for IGMPv3).

IGMP (configured on a router) periodically sends out IGMP general queries. A host responds to these queries with IGMP membership reports for groups that it is interested in. When IGMP snooping is enabled, the switch creates one entry per VLAN in the Layer 2 forwarding table for each Layer 2 multicast group from which it receives an IGMP join request. All hosts interested in this multicast traffic send IGMP membership reports and are added to the forwarding table entry.

Layer 2 multicast groups learned through IGMP snooping are dynamic. However, you can statically configure Layer 2 multicast groups using the ip igmp snooping static command. If you specify group membership statically, your setting supersedes any automatic manipulation by IGMP snooping. Multicast group membership lists can contain both user-defined and IGMP snooping settings.

Groups with IP addresses in the range 224.0.0.0 to 224.0.0.255, which map to the multicast MAC address range 0100.5E00.0001 to 0100.5E00.00FF, are reserved for routing control packets. These groups are flooded to all forwarding ports of the VLAN with the exception of 224.0.0.22, which is used for IGMPv3 membership reports.

Note If a VLAN experiences a spanning-tree topology change, IP multicast traffic floods on all VLAN ports where PortFast is not enabled, as well as on ports with the no igmp snooping tcn flood command configured for a period of TCN query count.

For a Layer 2 IGMPv2 host interface to join an IP multicast group, a host sends an IGMP membership report for the IP multicast group. For a host to leave a multicast group, it can either ignore the periodic IGMP general queries or it can send an IGMP leave message. When the switch receives an IGMP leave message from a host, it sends out an IGMP group-specific query to determine whether any devices connected to that interface are interested in traffic for the specific multicast group. The switch then updates the table entry for that Layer 2 multicast group so that only those hosts interested in receiving multicast traffic for the group are listed.

In contrast, IGMPv3 hosts send IGMPv3 membership reports (with the allow group record mode) to join a specific multicast group. When IGMPv3 hosts send membership reports (with the block group record) to reject traffic from all sources in the previous source list, the last host on the port is removed by immediate-leave if EHT is enabled.

Immediate-Leave Processing

IGMP snooping immediate-leave processing allows the switch to remove an interface from the forwarding-table entry without first sending out IGMP group-specific queries to the interface. The VLAN interface is pruned from the multicast tree for the multicast group specified in the original IGMP leave message. Immediate-leave processing ensures optimal bandwidth management for all hosts on a switched network, even when multiple multicast groups are being used simultaneously.

When a switch with IGMP snooping enabled receives an IGMPv2 or IGMPv3 leave message, it sends an IGMP group-specific query from the interface where the leave message was received to determine when there are other hosts attached to that interface that are interested in joining the MAC multicast group. If the switch does not receive an IGMP join message within the query response interval, the interface is removed from the port list of the (MAC-group, VLAN) entry in the Layer 2 forwarding table.

Note By default all IGMP joins are forwarded to all multicast router ports.

With immediate-leave processing enabled on the VLAN, an interface can be removed immediately from the port list of the Layer 2 entry when the IGMP leave message is received, unless a multicast router was learned on the port.

Note When using IGMPv2 snooping, use immediate-leave processing only on VLANs where just one host is connected to each interface. If immediate-leave processing is enabled on VLANs where multiple hosts are connected to an interface, some hosts might be dropped inadvertently. When using IGMPv3, immediate-leave processing is enabled by default, and due to Explicit Host Tracking (see below), the switch can detect when a port has single or multiple hosts maintained by the switch for IGMPv3 hosts. As a result, the switch can perform immediate-leave processing when it detects a single host behind a given port.

Note IGMPv3 is interoperable with older versions of IGMP.

Use the show ip igmp snooping querier vlan command to display the IGMP version on a particular VLAN.

Use the show ip igmp snooping vlan command to display whether the switch supports IGMPv3 snooping.

Use the ip igmp snooping immediate-leave command to enable immediate-leave for IGMPv2.

Note Immediate-leave processing is enabled by default for IGMPv3.

IGMP Configurable-Leave Timer

Immediate-leave processing cannot be used on VLANs where multiple hosts may be connected to a single interface. To reduce leave latency in such a scenario, IGMPv3 provides a configurable leave timer.

In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(25)SG and earlier, the IGMP snooping leave time was based on query response time. If membership reports were not received by the switch before the query response time of the query expired, a port was removed from the multicast group membership.

In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(31)SG and later, you can configure the length of time that the switch waits after sending a group-specific query to determine if hosts are still interested in a specific multicast group. The IGMP leave response time can be configured from 100 to 5000 milliseconds. The timer can be set either globally or per VLAN. The VLAN configuration of the leave time overrides the global configuration.

For configuration steps, see the "Configuring the IGMP Leave Timer" section.

IGMP Snooping Querier

IGMP Snooping Querier support was introduced in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(50)SG. This is a Layer 2 feature required to support IGMP snooping in a VLAN where PIM and IGMP are not configured because the multicast traffic does not require routing.

In a network where IP multicast routing is configured, the IP multicast router acts as the IGMP querier by sending general queries. If the IP-multicast traffic in a VLAN only needs to be Layer 2-switched, an IP-multicast router is not required. Without an IP-multicast router on the VLAN, you must configure another switch as the IGMP querier so that it can send queries.

When enabled, the IGMP snooping querier sends out periodic IGMPv2 queries that trigger IGMP report messages from the switch that requests IP multicast traffic. IGMP snooping listens to these IGMP reports to establish appropriate forwarding.

On switches that use IGMP to report interest in IP multicast traffic, configure at least one switch as the IGMP snooping querier in each supported VLAN.

You can configure a switch to generate IGMP queries on a VLAN regardless of whether IP multicast routing is enabled.

Explicit Host Tracking

Explicit Host Tracking (EHT) monitors group membership by tracking hosts that are sending IGMPv3 membership reports. This tracking enables a switch to detect host information associated with the groups of each port. Furthermore, EHT enables the user to track the membership and various statistics.

EHT enables a switch to track membership on a per-port basis. Consequently, a switch is aware of the hosts residing on each port and can perform immediate-leave processing when there is only one host behind a port.

To determine whether EHT is enabled on a VLAN, use the show ip igmp snoop vlan command.

Configuring IGMP Snooping

Note When configuring IGMP, configure the VLAN in the VLAN database mode. (See Chapter 13 "Configuring VLANs, VTP, and VMPS".)

IGMP snooping allows switches to examine IGMP packets and make forwarding decisions based on their content.

Enabling IGMP Immediate-Leave Processing

When you enable IGMP immediate-leave processing on a VLAN, a switch removes an interface from the multicast group when it detects an IGMPv2 leave message on that interface.

Note For IGMPv3, immediate-leave processing is enabled by default with EHT.

To enable immediate-leave processing on an IGMPv2 interface, perform this task:

This example shows how to enable IGMP immediate-leave processing on interface VLAN 200 and to verify the configuration:

Switch# configure terminal

Switch(config)# ip igmp snooping vlan 200 immediate-leave 

Configuring immediate leave on vlan 200

Switch(config)# end 

Switch# show ip igmp interface vlan 200 | include immediate leave 

Immediate leave                : Disabled

Switch(config)#

Configuring the IGMP Leave Timer

Follows these guidelines when configuring the IGMP leave timer:

•You can configure the leave time globally or per VLAN.

•Configuring the leave time on a VLAN overrides the global setting.

•The default leave time is 1000 milliseconds.

•The IGMP configurable leave time is only supported on hosts running IGMP Version 2.

•The actual leave latency in the network is usually the configured leave time. However, the leave time might vary around the configured time, depending on real-time CPU load conditions, network delays and the amount of traffic sent through the interface.

To enable the IGMP configurable-leave timer, perform this task:

Switch# configure terminal

This example shows how to enable the IGMP configurable-leave timer and to verify the configuration:

Switch# configure terminal

Switch(config)# ip igmp snooping last-member-query-interval 200

Switch(config)# ip igmp snooping vlan 10 last-member-query-interval 500

Switch(config)# end

Switch# show ip igmp snooping show ip igmp snooping

Configuring IGMP Snooping Querier

The IGMP Snooping Querier feature can be enabled either globally (i.e. they affect every VLAN) or on a per-vlan basis.

Note The IGMP snooping querier is disabled by default.

To configure IGMP Snooping Querier, perform this task:

Switch# configure terminal

For an example of how to display Querier information, refer to the "Displaying IGMP Snooping Querier Information" section.

Configuring Explicit Host Tracking

For IGMPv3, EHT is enabled by default and can be disabled on a per-VLAN basis.

To disable EHT processing on a VLAN, perform this task:

This example shows how to disable IGMP EHT on VLAN 200 and to verify the configuration:

Switch# configure terminal

Switch(config)# no ip igmp snooping vlan 200 explicit-tracking 

Switch(config)# end 

Switch# show ip igmp snooping vlan 200 | include Explicit host tracking

Explicit host tracking         : Disabled

Configuring a Host Statically

Hosts normally join multicast groups dynamically, but you can also configure a host statically on an interface.

To configure a host statically on an interface, perform this task:

This example shows how to configure a host statically in VLAN 200 on interface FastEthernet 2/11:

Switch# configure terminal

Switch(config)# ip igmp snooping vlan 200 static 0100.5e02.0203 interface fastethernet 
2/11

Configuring port FastEthernet2/11 on group 0100.5e02.0203 vlan 200

Switch(config)# end

Suppressing Multicast Flooding

An IGMP snooping-enabled switch floods multicast traffic to all ports in a VLAN when a spanning-tree Topology Change Notification (TCN) is received. Multicast flooding suppression enables a switch to stop sending such traffic. To support flooding suppression, the following interface and global commands were introduced in Cisco IOS Release 12.1(11b)EW.

The interface command is as follows:

[no | default] ip igmp snooping tcn flood

The global commands are as follows:

[no | default] ip igmp snooping tcn flood query count [1 - 10]

[no | default] ip igmp snooping tcn query solicit

Prior to Cisco IOS Release 12.1(11b)EW, when a spanning tree topology change notification (TCN) was received by a switch, the multicast traffic was flooded to all the ports in a VLAN for a period of three IGMP query intervals. This was necessary for redundant configurations. In Cisco IOS Release 12.1(11b)EW, the default time period the switch waits before multicast flooding stops was changed to two IGMP query intervals.

This flooding behavior is undesirable if the switch that does the flooding has many ports that are subscribed to different groups. The traffic could exceed the capacity of the link between the switch and the end host, resulting in packet loss.

With the no ip igmp snooping tcn flood command, you can disable multicast flooding on a switch interface following a topology change. Only the multicast groups that have been joined by a port are sent to that port, even during a topology change.

With the ip igmp snooping tcn flood query count command, you can enable multicast flooding on a switch interface for a short period of time following a topology change by configuring an IGMP query threshold.

Typically, if a topology change occurs, the spanning tree root switch issues a global IGMP leave message (referred to as a "query solicitation") with the group multicast address 0.0.0.0. When a switch receives this solicitation, it floods this solicitation on all ports in the VLAN where the spanning tree change occurred. When the upstream router receives this solicitation, it immediately issues an IGMP general query.

With the ip igmp snooping tcn query solicit command, you can now direct a non-spanning tree root switch to issue the same query solicitation.

The following sections provide additional details on the new commands and illustrate how to use them.

IGMP Snooping Interface Configuration

A topology change in a VLAN may invalidate previously learned IGMP snooping information. A host that was on one port before the topology change may move to another port after the topology change. When the topology changes, the Catalyst 4500 series switch takes special actions to ensure that multicast traffic is delivered to all multicast receivers in that VLAN.

When the spanning tree protocol is running in a VLAN, a spanning tree topology change notification (TCN) is issued by the root switch in the VLAN. A Catalyst 4500 series switch that receives a TCN in a VLAN for which IGMP snooping has been enabled immediately enters into "multicast flooding mode" for a period of time until the topology restabilizes and the new locations of all multicast receivers are learned.

While in "multicast flooding mode," IP multicast traffic is delivered to all ports in the VLAN, and not restricted to those ports on which multicast group members have been detected.

Starting with Cisco IOS Release 12.1(11b)EW, you can manually prevent IP multicast traffic from being flooded to a switchport by using the no ip igmp snooping tcn flood command on that port.

For trunk ports, the configuration applies to all VLANs.

By default, multicast flooding is enabled. Use the no keyword to disable flooding, and use default to restore the default behavior (flooding is enabled).

To disable multicast flooding on an interface, perform this task:

This example shows how to disable multicast flooding on interface FastEthernet 2/11:

Switch(config)# interface fastethernet 2/11

Switch(config-if)# no ip igmp snooping tcn flood

Switch(config-if)# end

Switch#

IGMP Snooping Switch Configuration

By default, "flooding mode" persists until the switch receives two IGMP general queries. You can change this period of time by using the
ip igmp snooping tcn flood query count n command, where n is a number between 1 and 10.

This command operates at the global configuration level.

The default number of queries is 2. The no and default keywords restore the default.

To establish an IGMP query threshold, perform this task:

This example shows how to modify the switch to stop flooding multicast traffic after four queries:

Switch(config)# ip igmp snooping tcn flood query count 4

Switch(config)# end

Switch#

When a spanning tree root switch receives a topology change in an IGMP snooping-enabled VLAN, the switch issues a query solicitation that causes an IOS router to send out one or more general queries. The new command ip igmp snooping tcn query solicit causes the switch to send the query solicitation whenever it notices a topology change, even if that switch is not the spanning tree root.

This command operates at the global configuration level.

By default, query solicitation is disabled unless the switch is the spanning tree root. The default keyword restores the default behavior.

To direct a switch to send a query solicitation, perform this task:

This example shows how to configure the switch to send a query solicitation upon detecting a TCN:

Switch(config)# ip igmp snooping tcn query solicit

Switch(config)# end

Switch#

Configuring IGMP Filtering

This section includes the following subsections:

•Default IGMP Filtering Configuration

•Configuring IGMP Profiles

•Applying IGMP Profiles

•Setting the Maximum Number of IGMP Groups

Note The IGMP filtering feature works for IGMPv1 and IGMPv2 only.

In some environments, for example metropolitan or multiple-dwelling unit (MDU) installations, an administrator might want to control the multicast groups to which a user on a switch port can belong. This allows the administrator to control the distribution of multicast services, such as IP/TV, based on some type of subscription or service plan.

With the IGMP filtering feature, an administrator can exert this type of control. With this feature, you can filter multicast joins on a per-port basis by configuring IP multicast profiles and associating them with individual switch ports. An IGMP profile can contain one or more multicast groups and specifies whether access to the group is permitted or denied. If an IGMP profile denying access to a multicast group is applied to a switch port, the IGMP join report requesting the stream of IP multicast traffic is dropped, and the port is not allowed to receive IP multicast traffic from that group. If the filtering action permits access to the multicast group, the IGMP report from the port is forwarded for normal processing.

IGMP filtering controls only IGMP membership join reports and has no relationship to the function that directs the forwarding of IP multicast traffic.

You can also set the maximum number of IGMP groups that a Layer 2 interface can join with the
ip igmp max-groups n command.

Default IGMP Filtering Configuration

Table 21-2 shows the default IGMP filtering configuration.

Configuring IGMP Profiles

To configure an IGMP profile and to enter IGMP profile configuration mode, use the ip igmp profile global configuration command. From the IGMP profile configuration mode, you can specify the parameters of the IGMP profile to be used for filtering IGMP join requests from a port. When you are in IGMP profile configuration mode, you can create the profile using these commands:

•deny: Specifies that matching addresses are denied; this is the default condition.

•exit: Exits from igmp-profile configuration mode.

•no: Negates a command or sets its defaults.

•permit: Specifies that matching addresses are permitted.

•range: Specifies a range of IP addresses for the profile. You can enter a single IP address or a range with starting and ending addresses.

By default, no IGMP profiles are configured. When a profile is configured with neither the permit nor the deny keyword, the default is to deny access to the range of IP addresses.

To create an IGMP profile for a port, perform this task:

To delete a profile, use the no ip igmp profile profile number global configuration command.

To delete an IP multicast address or range of IP multicast addresses, use the no range ip multicast address IGMP profile configuration command.

This example shows how to create IGMP profile 4 (allowing access to the single IP multicast address) and how to verify the configuration. If the action were to deny (the default), it would not appear in the show ip igmp profile command output.

Switch# configure terminal

Switch(config)# ip igmp profile 4

Switch(config-igmp-profile)# permit

Switch(config-igmp-profile)# range 229.9.9.0

Switch(config-igmp-profile)# end

Switch# show ip igmp profile 4

IGMP Profile 4

    permit

    range 229.9.9.0 229.9.9.0

Applying IGMP Profiles

To control access as defined in an IGMP profile, use the ip igmp filter interface configuration command to apply the profile to the appropriate interfaces. You can apply a profile to multiple interfaces, but each interface can only have one profile applied to it.

Note You can apply IGMP profiles to Layer 2 ports only. You cannot apply IGMP profiles to routed ports (or SVIs) or to ports that belong to an EtherChannel port group.

To apply an IGMP profile to a switch port, perform this task:

To remove a profile from an interface, use the no ip igmp filter command.

This example shows how to apply IGMP profile 4 to an interface and to verify the configuration:

Switch# configure terminal

Switch(config)# interface fastethernet2/12

Switch(config-if)# ip igmp filter 4

Switch(config-if)# end

Switch# show running-config interface fastethernet2/12

Building configuration...

Current configuration : 123 bytes

!

interface FastEthernet2/12

 no ip address

 shutdown

 snmp trap link-status

 ip igmp max-groups 25

 ip igmp filter 4

end

Setting the Maximum Number of IGMP Groups

You can set the maximum number of IGMP groups that a Layer 2 interface can join by using the ip igmp max-groups interface configuration command. Use the no form of this command to set the maximum back to the default, which is no limit.

Note This restriction applies to Layer 2 ports only. You cannot set a maximum number of IGMP groups on routed ports (or SVIs) or on ports that belong to an EtherChannel port group.

To apply an IGMP profile on a switch port, perform this task:

This example shows how to limit the number of IGMP groups that an interface can join to 25:

Switch# configure terminal

Switch(config)# interface fastethernet2/12

Switch(config-if)# ip igmp max-groups 25

Switch(config-if)# end

Switch# show running-config interface fastethernet2/12

Building configuration...

Current configuration : 123 bytes

!

interface FastEthernet2/12

 no ip address

 shutdown

 snmp trap link-status

 ip igmp max-groups 25

 ip igmp filter 4

end

Displaying IGMP Filtering Configuration

You can display IGMP profile and maximum group configuration for all interfaces on the switch or for a specified interface.

To display IGMP profiles, perform this task:

To display interface configuration, perform this task:

This is an example of the show ip igmp profile privileged EXEC command when no profile number is entered. All profiles defined on the switch are displayed.

Switch# show ip igmp profile

IGMP Profile 3

    range 230.9.9.0 230.9.9.0

IGMP Profile 4

    permit

    range 229.9.9.0 229.255.255.255

This is an example of the show running-config privileged EXEC command when an interface is specified with IGMP maximum groups configured and IGMP profile 4 has been applied to the interface:

Switch# show running-config interface fastethernet2/12

Building configuration...

Current configuration : 123 bytes

!

interface FastEthernet2/12

 no ip address

 shutdown

 snmp trap link-status

 ip igmp max-groups 25

 ip igmp filter 4
