I cannot connect to multicast stream with N2024

Thanks Daniel C.

I have 2 IP-TV senders, and the small router, like multimedia sources in the system.

IP-TV 1 Gi1/0/18

IP-TV-2 Gi1/0/16

Router  Gi1/0/24

I have configure mrouter to Gi1/0/4 because of the bug to filter multicast in that firmware

the igmp querier 10.137.255.1 its the switch, not the small router.

Thaks for your help.

I have tried this commad in the laboratory:

console(config)#ip igmp snooping vlan 1 mrouter interface Gi1/0/24

and the router starts to work (I supose it will work also with # ip igmp snooping unregistered floodall).

But i have a doubt: the mrouter command sends all multicast streams of the system to the configured port Gi1/0/24? If this is so, there is a problem in production (not in the lab): I have in the production system 35 video streams multicast of 5 Mbps, the small router have a ethernet link of 100Mbps, 35*5Mbps = 175 Mbps!!!

I dont know exactly how the command mrouter works...

Is there any way to make the small router will reach the IGMP packets  without the video stream coming to it also?

Thanks Daniel C.

I know how multicast work, one sender and a lot of receivers... but I am afraid that I am not explained well, sorry for my english...

I will try to explain better... there is the system:

IP video senders 1 and 2 sends 35 streams multicast, PC1 to PCn are the receivers. One of them (PCx) want to watch one video stream and suscibes to it. Only PCx receive the stream, all work perfect.

The problem is the stream sended by the small router. The small router only sends its stream if there are any client subscribes to it. Its necesary that small router receives the igmp join message from PC clients.

Fot that i tried with the command:

#ip igmp snooping vlan 1 mrouter interface Gi1/0/24

But this command seems to send igmp joins to G1/0/24 but also all the video streams from IP video sender 1 and 2.

How can I do that the small router receives the igmp (join and leave) messages without receiving the video streams?

All senders are not receiving multicast from other sources, only the port configured as mrouter.

I filtered multicast by default. Do not use  ip igmp snooping unregistered floodall.

The router is a Odin from Forsway. A satellite router to receive a tv channel.

Look at this paragraph from page 462 of networking-n2000-series-CLI_en-us.pdf:

ip igmp snooping vlan mrouter

Multicast data plane traffic from multicast sources in a VLAN is always

forwarded to the mrouter ports in the VLAN. Multicast control plane packets

(those addressed to the reserved 224.0.0.X address) are always flooded in the

VLAN, regardless of whether an mrouter port is defined or not.

The Odin does not permit to change the multicast adress.

The others senders are using 239.254.4.X addresses.

When I get rid mrouter and implement the floodall command the Odin do not start to send video.

I will try to change the firmware, for the moment its not possible...

I had already run the command # no ip igmp snooping unregistered floodall, its disabled, you can be sure.

I have done that you have suggested, to put static mac, it do not work.

I will copy you the show mac address-table multicast, when mrouter is enabled to Gi1/0/24, you can see all multicast streams copied to Gi1/0/24:

console(config)#show mac address-table multicast

Thank you very much for your invaluable help. I will continue trying to solve it.

Any new idea will be highly appreciated.

I don't understand why defining mroute, all the multicast streams are sent to it.

it seems as if the command mroute was to define a router who is going to send all the streams multicast from our network to other one.

In my case, its to receive an stream multicast from other network and sends it to my network. Just the opposite.

There are any command to this?
