IGMP Snooping Overview

You can configure the switch to use IGMP snooping in subnets that receive IGMP queries from either IGMP or the IGMP snooping querier. IGMP snooping constrains IPv4 multicast traffic at Layer 2 by configuring Layer 2 LAN ports dynamically to forward IPv4 multicast traffic only to those ports that want to receive it.

IGMP, which runs at Layer 3 on a multicast router, generates Layer 3 IGMP queries in subnets where the multicast traffic needs to be routed. For information about IGMP, see Chapter 28 "Configuring IPv4 Multicast Layer 3 Switching."

You can configure the IGMP snooping querier on the switch to support IGMP snooping in subnets that do not have any multicast router interfaces. For more information about the IGMP snooping querier, see the "Enabling the IGMP Snooping Querier" section.

IGMP (on a multicast router) or the IGMP snooping querier (on the supervisor engine) sends out periodic general IGMP queries that the switch forwards through all ports in the VLAN and to which hosts respond. IGMP snooping monitors the Layer 3 IGMP traffic.

Note If a multicast group has only sources and no receivers in a VLAN, IGMP snooping constrains the multicast traffic to only the multicast router ports.

Joining a Multicast Group

Hosts join multicast groups either by sending an unsolicited IGMP join message or by sending an IGMP join message in response to a general query from a multicast router (the switch forwards general queries from multicast routers to all ports in a VLAN).

In response to an IGMP join request, the switch creates an entry in its Layer 2 forwarding table for the VLAN on which the join request was received. When other hosts that are interested in this multicast traffic send IGMP join requests, the switch adds them to the existing Layer 2 forwarding table entry. The switch creates only one entry per VLAN in the Layer 2 forwarding table for each multicast group for which it receives an IGMP join request.

IGMP snooping suppresses all but one of the host join messages per multicast group and forwards this one join message to the multicast router.

The switch forwards multicast traffic for the multicast group specified in the join message to the interfaces where join messages were received (see Figure 30-1).

Layer 2 multicast groups learned through IGMP snooping are dynamic. However, you can statically configure Layer 2 multicast groups using the mac-address-table static command. When you specify group membership for a multicast group address statically, the static setting supersedes any IGMP snooping learning. Multicast group membership lists can consist of both static and IGMP snooping-learned settings.

Figure 30-1 Initial IGMP Join Message

Multicast router A sends a general query to the switch, which forwards the query to ports 2 through 5 (all members of the same VLAN). Host 1 wants to join multicast group 224.1.2.3 and multicasts an IGMP membership report (IGMP join message) to the group with the equivalent MAC destination address of 0x0100.5E01.0203. When the CPU receives the IGMP report multicast by Host 1, the CPU uses the information in the IGMP report to set up a forwarding-table entry, as shown in Table 30-1, that includes the port numbers of Host 1, the multicast router, and the switch internal CPU.

The switch hardware can distinguish IGMP information packets from other packets for the multicast group. The first entry in the table tells the switching engine to send only IGMP packets to the CPU. This prevents the CPU from becoming overloaded with multicast frames. The second entry tells the switching engine to send frames addressed to the 0x0100.5E01.0203 multicast MAC address that are not IGMP packets (!IGMP) to the multicast router and to the host that has joined the group.

If another host (for example, Host 4) sends an unsolicited IGMP join message for the same group (Figure 30-2), the CPU receives that message and adds the port number of Host 4 to the forwarding table as shown in Table 30-2. Because the forwarding table directs IGMP messages only to the CPU, the message is not flooded to other ports. Any known multicast traffic is forwarded to the group and not to the CPU.

Leaving a Multicast Group

These sections describe leaving a multicast group:

•Normal Leave Processing

•Fast-Leave Processing

Normal Leave Processing

Interested hosts must continue to respond to the periodic general IGMP queries. As long as at least one host in the VLAN responds to the periodic general IGMP queries, the multicast router continues forwarding the multicast traffic to the VLAN. When hosts want to leave a multicast group, they can either ignore the periodic general IGMP queries (called a "silent leave"), or they can send a group-specific IGMPv2 leave message.

When IGMP snooping receives a group-specific IGMPv2 leave message from a host, it sends out a MAC-based general query to determine if any other devices connected to that interface are interested in traffic for the specific multicast group. If IGMP snooping does not receive an IGMP Join message in response to the general query, it assumes that no other devices connected to the interface are interested in receiving traffic for this multicast group, and it removes the interface from its Layer 2 forwarding table entry for that multicast group. If the leave message was from the only remaining interface with hosts interested in the group and IGMP snooping does not receive an IGMP Join in response to the general query, it removes the group entry and relays the IGMP leave to the multicast router. If the multicast router receives no reports from a VLAN, the multicast router removes the group for the VLAN from its IGMP cache.

The interval for which the switch waits before updating the table entry is called the "last member query interval." To configure the interval, enter the ip igmp snooping last-member-query-interval interval command.

Fast-Leave Processing

IGMP snooping fast-leave processing allows IGMP snooping to remove a Layer 2 LAN interface from the forwarding-table entry without first sending out IGMP group-specific queries to the interface. Upon receiving a group-specific IGMPv2 leave message, IGMP snooping immediately removes the interface from the Layer 2 forwarding table entry for that multicast group, unless a multicast router was learned on the port. Fast-leave processing improves bandwidth management for all hosts on a switched network.

Note Use fast-leave processing only on VLANs where only one host is connected to each Layer 2 LAN port. If fast-leave is enabled in VLANs where more than one host is connected to a Layer 2 LAN port, some hosts might be dropped inadvertently. Fast-leave processing is supported only with IGMP version 2 hosts.

Understanding the IGMP Snooping Querier

Use the IGMP snooping querier to support IGMP snooping in a VLAN where PIM and IGMP are not configured because the multicast traffic does not need to be routed.

In a network where IP multicast routing is configured, the IP multicast router acts as the IGMP querier. If the IP-multicast traffic in a VLAN only needs to be Layer 2 switched, an IP-multicast router is not required, but 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 IGMP queries that trigger IGMP report messages from the switch that wants to receive IP multicast traffic. IGMP snooping listens to these IGMP reports to establish appropriate forwarding.

Configure one switch as the IGMP snooping querier in each VLAN that is supported on switches that use IGMP to report interest in IP multicast traffic.

Note Enable the IGMP snooping querier on only one switch in the VLAN.

You can configure a switch to generate IGMP queries on a VLAN regardless of whether or not IP multicast routing is enabled.

Understanding IGMP Version 3 Support

These sections describe IGMP version 3 support:

•IGMP Version 3 Support Overview

•IGMPv3 Fast-Leave Processing

•Proxy Reporting

•Explicit Host Tracking

IGMP Version 3 Support Overview

IGMP snooping supports IGMP version 3. IGMP version 3 uses source-based filtering, which enables hosts and routers to specify which source addresses should be allowed or blocked for a specific multicast group. When you enable IGMP version 3 snooping on a Catalyst 6500 series switch, the system maintains IGMP version 3 states based on messages it receives for a particular group in a particular VLAN and either allows or blocks traffic based on the following information in these messages:

•Source lists

•Allow (include) or block (exclude) filtering options

Because the Layer 2 table is (MAC-group, VLAN) based, with IGMPv3 hosts it is preferable to have only a single multicast source per MAC-group.

Note Source-based filtering for IGMP version 3 reports is not supported in hardware. The states are maintained only in software and used for explicit host tracking and statistics collection. The source-only entries are deleted every 5 minutes and relearned to ensure that they are still valid.

IGMPv3 Fast-Leave Processing

IGMP version 3 fast-leave processing is enabled by default. To disable IGMP version 3 fast-leave processing you must turn off explicit-host tracking.

Fast-leave processing with IGMPv3 is implemented by maintaining source-group based membership information in software while also allocating LTL indexes on a MAC GDA basis.

When fast-leave processing is enabled, hosts send BLOCK_OLD_SOURCES{src-list} messages for a specific group when they no longer want to receive traffic from that source. When the switch receives such a message from a host, it parses the list of sources for that host for the given group. If this source list is exactly the same as the source list received in the leave message, the switch removes the host from the LTL index and stops forwarding this multicast group traffic to this host.

If the source lists do not match, the switch does not remove the host from the LTL index until the host is no longer interested in receiving traffic from any source.

Proxy Reporting

IGMP supports proxy reporting for IGMPv1 and IGMPv2 messages to handle group-specific queries. These queries are not sent downstream, but the switch does respond to them directly. When the switch recieves a group-specific query, the switch terminates the query and sends an IGMP proxy report if there is a receiver for the group. There is no proxy reporting for IGMPv3 messages. For IGMPv3, a group-specific query or a group source-specific query is flooded to all VLAN member ports. The database for the IGMPv3 membership report is built based on the reports received.

Host reports responding to a specific query can be suppressed by the report suppression feature. Report suppression is supported for IGMPv1, IGMPv2 and IGMPv3 messages. With report suppression enabled (by default), when the switch recieves a general query, the switch starts a suppression cycle for reports from all hosts to each group or channel (S,G). Only the first report to the discovered multicast routers are forwarded; the rest of the reports are suppressed. For IGMPv1 and IGMPv2, the time of suppression is the report response time indicated in the general query message. For IGMPv3, suppression occurs for the entire general query interval.

Note•Source-based filtering for IGMP version 3 reports is not supported in hardware. The states are maintained only in software and used for explicit host tracking and statistics collection. The source-only entries are deleted every 5 minutes and relearned to ensure that they are still valid.

•Turning off explicit host tracking disables fast-leave processing and proxy reporting.

Explicit Host Tracking

IGMPv3 supports explicit tracking of membership information on any port. The explicit-tracking database is used for fast-leave processing for IGMPv3 hosts, proxy reporting, and statistics collection. When explicit tracking is enabled on a VLAN, the IGMP snooping software processes the IGMPv3 report it receives from a host and builds an explicit-tracking database that contains the following information:

•The port connected to the host

•The channels reported by the host

•The filter mode for each group reported by the host

•The list of sources for each group reported by the hosts

•The router filter mode of each group

•For each group, the list of hosts requesting the source

Note•Turning off explicit host tracking disables fast-leave processing and proxy reporting.

•When explicit tracking is enabled and the switch is working in proxy-reporting mode, the router may not be able to track all the hosts behind a VLAN interface.

IGMP Snooping Configuration Guidelines and Restrictions

When configuring IGMP snooping, follow these guidelines and restrictions:

•To support Cisco Group Management Protocol (CGMP) client devices, configure the Multilayer Switch Feature Card (MSFC) as a CGMP server. Refer to the Cisco IOS IP and IP Routing Configuration Guide, Release 12.2, "IP Multicast," "Configuring IP Multicast Routing," at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_2/ip/configuration/guide/1cfmulti.html

•For more information on IP multicast and IGMP, refer to RFC 1112 and RFC 2236.

•IGMP snooping supports private VLANs. Private VLANs do not impose any restrictions on IGMP snooping.

•IGMP snooping constrains traffic in MAC multicast groups 0100.5e00.0001 to 0100.5eff.ffff.

•IGMP snooping does not constrain Layer 2 multicasts generated by routing protocols.

IGMP Snooping Querier Configuration Guidelines and Restrictions

When configuring the IGMP snooping querier, follow these guidelines and restrictions:

•The IGMP snooping querier does not support querier elections. Enable the IGMP snooping querier on only one switch in the VLAN. (CSCsk48795)

•Configure the VLAN in global configuration mode (see Chapter 14 "Configuring VLANs").

•Configure an IP address on the VLAN interface (see Chapter 22 "Configuring Layer 3 Interfaces"). When enabled, the IGMP snooping querier uses the IP address as the query source address.

•If there is no IP address configured on the VLAN interface, the IGMP snooping querier does not start. The IGMP snooping querier disables itself if the IP address is cleared. When enabled, the IGMP snooping querier restarts if you configure an IP address.

•The IGMP snooping querier supports IGMP version 2.

•When enabled, the IGMP snooping querier does not start if it detects IGMP traffic from a multicast router.

•When enabled, the IGMP snooping querier starts after 60 seconds with no IGMP traffic detected from a multicast router.

•When enabled, the IGMP snooping querier disables itself if it detects IGMP traffic from a multicast router.

•QoS does not support IGMP packets when IGMP snooping is enabled.

Note When you are in configuration mode you can enter EXEC mode commands by entering the do keyword before the EXEC mode command.

Enabling the IGMP Snooping Querier

Use the IGMP snooping querier to support IGMP snooping in a VLAN where PIM and IGMP are not configured because the multicast traffic does not need to be routed.

To enable the IGMP snooping querier in a VLAN, perform this task:

 
Command
Purpose

Step 1 

Router(config)# interface vlan vlan_ID

Selects the VLAN interface.

Step 2 

Router(config-if)# ip address ip_address subnet_mask

Configures the IP address and IP subnet.

Step 3 

Router(config-if)# ip igmp snooping querier

Enables the IGMP snooping querier.

Router(config-if)# no ip igmp snooping querier

Disables the IGMP snooping querier.

Step 4 

Router(config-if)# end

Exits configuration mode.

Step 5 

Router# show ip igmp interface vlan vlan_ID | include querier

Verifies the configuration.

This example shows how to enable the IGMP snooping querier on VLAN 200 and verify the configuration: 

Router# interface vlan 200 

Router(config-if)# ip address 172.20.52.106 255.255.255.248

Router(config-if)# igmp snooping querier 

Router(config-if)# end 

Router# show ip igmp interface vlan 200 | include querier 

IGMP snooping fast-leave (for v2) is disabled and querier is enabled

Router#

Configuring IGMP Snooping

Note To use IGMP snooping, configure a Layer 3 interface in the subnet for multicast routing (see Chapter 28 "Configuring IPv4 Multicast Layer 3 Switching") or enable the IGMP snooping querier in the subnet (see the "Enabling the IGMP Snooping Querier" section).

IGMP snooping allows Catalyst 6500 series switches to examine IGMP packets and make forwarding decisions based on their content.

 Configures the interval for the IGMP snooping queries sent by the switch. Default is 1 second. Valid range is 100 to 999 milliseconds. 
 		 
      
 
      
 
       
Router(config-if)# no ip igmp snooping last 
 
       
 Reverts to the default value. 
 		 
      
 
      
    
 
   
 
   
 
 
    
   
 This example shows how to configure the IGMP snooping query interval: 
 
    
   
 
    
Router(config-if)# ip igmp snooping last-member-query-interval 200

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
Router(config-if)# exit

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
Router# show ip igmp interface vlan 200 | include last 

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
  IGMP snooping last member query interval on this interface is 200 ms

 
   
 
     
    
    
    
    
   
 Enabling IGMP Fast-Leave Processing 
 
    
   
 To enable IGMP fast-leave processing in a VLAN, perform this task: 
 
    
   
 
 
   
 
    
 
      
      
      
 
         
        
        

          Command 
        
 		 
        
        

          Purpose 
        
 		 
      
 
      
 
       
 Step 1  
 		 
       
Router(config)# interface vlan vlan_ID 
 
       
 Selects a VLAN interface. 
 		 
      
 
      
 
       
 Step 2  
 		 
       
Router(config-if)# ip igmp snooping fast-leave 
 
       
 Enables IGMP fast-leave processing in the VLAN. 
 		 
      
 
      
 
       
Router(config-if)# no ip igmp snooping fast-leave 
 
       
 Disables IGMP fast-leave processing in the VLAN. 
 		 
      
 
      
    
 
   
 
   
 
 
    
   
 This example shows how to enable IGMP fast-leave processing on the VLAN 200 interface and verify the configuration: 
 
    
   
 
    
Router# interface vlan 200 

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
Router(config-if)# ip igmp snooping fast-leave 

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
Configuring fast leave on vlan 200

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
Router(config-if)# end 

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
Router# show ip igmp interface vlan 200 | include fast-leave 

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
IGMP snooping fast-leave is enabled on this interface

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
Router(config-if)#

 
   
 
     
    
    
   
 Configuring Source Specific Multicast (SSM) Mapping 
 
   
 
     
   
 
   
 
    
   
 Note•Release 12.2(18)SXD3 and later releases support SSM mapping. 
 
    
   
 •Do not configure SSM mapping in a VLAN that supports IGMPv3 multicast receivers. 
 
   
 
    
    
   
 To configure SSM mapping, refer to this publication: 
 
    
   
 http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios-xml/ios/ipmulti_igmp/configuration/12-2sx/imc_ssm_mapping.html 
 
     
    
    
    
   
 Enabling SSM Safe Reporting 
 
   
 
     
   
 
   
 
    
   
 Note Source-specific multicast (SSM) safe reporting is deprecated in Release 12.2(18)SXE and later releases. 
 
   
 
    
   
 When you configure SSM safe reporting, the group mode is IGMPv3 even in the presence of IGMPv1 and IGMPv2 hosts. 
 
    
   
 To make sure the switch is able to support both IGMPv1, IGMPv2, and IGMPv3 hosts in the same VLAN, perform this task: 
 
    
   
 
 
   
 
    
 
      
      
      
 
         
        
        

          Command 
        
 		 
        
        

          Purpose 
        
 		 
      
 
      
 
       
 Step 1  
 		 
       
Router(config)# interface vlan vlan_ID 
 
       
 Selects a VLAN interface. 
 		 
      
 
      
 
       
 Step 2  
 		 
       
Router(config-if)# ip igmp snooping ssm-safe-reporting 
 
       
 Enables support for both IGMPv2 and IGMPv3 hosts. 
 		 
      
 
      
 
       
Router(config-if)# no ip igmp snooping ssm-safe-reporting 
 
       
 Clears the configuration. 
 		 
      
 
      
    
 
   
 
   
 
 
    
   
 This example shows how to configure the switch to support both IGMPv2 and IGMPv3 hosts: 
 
    
   
 
    
Router(config)# interface vlan 10

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
Router(config-if)# ip igmp snooping ssm-safe-reporting

 
   
 
     
    
    
   
 Configuring IGMPv3 Explicit Host Tracking 
 
    
   
 To enable explicit host tracking on a VLAN, perform this task: 
 
    
   
 
 
   
 
    
 
      
      
      
 
         
        
        

          Command 
        
 		 
        
        

          Purpose 
        
 		 
      
 
      
 
       
 Step 1  
 		 
       
Router(config)# interface vlan vlan_ID 
 
       
 Selects a VLAN interface. 
 		 
      
 
      
 
       
 Step 2  
 		 
       
Router(config-if)# ip igmp snooping explicit-tracking 
 
       
 Enables explicit host tracking. 
 		 
      
 
      
 
       
Router(config-if)# no ip igmp snooping explicit-tracking 
 
       
 Clears the explicit host tracking configuration. 
 		 
      
 
      
 
       
 Step 3  
 		 
       
Router# show ip igmp snooping explicit-tracking {vlan vlan-id} 
 
       
 Displays information about the explicit host tracking status for IGMPv3 hosts. 
 		 
      
 
      
    
 
   
 
   
 
 
    
   
 This example shows how to enable explicit host tracking: 
 
    
   
 
    
Router(config)# interface vlan 25

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
Router(config-if)# ip igmp snooping explicit-tracking

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
Router(config-if)# end

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
Router# show ip igmp snooping explicit-tracking vlan 25

 •Displaying IGMP Snooping Information for a VLAN Interface 
 
    
   
 •Displaying IGMP Snooping Statistics 
 
     
    
    
   
 Displaying Multicast Router Interfaces 
 
    
   
 When you enable IGMP snooping, the switch automatically learns to which interface the multicast routers are connected. 
 
    
   
 To display multicast router interfaces, perform this task: 
 
    
   
 
 
   
 
    
 
      
      
      
 
        
        

          Command 
        
 		 
        
        

          Purpose 
        
 		 
      
 
      
 
       
Router# show ip igmp snooping mrouter vlan_ID 
 
       
 Displays multicast router interfaces.
