Multicast flooding with IGMP Snooping

JF
Level 1
Level 1

Hello,

I have a VSS with 2x 4500x (Release 3.4.0SG ED) and 3750x (Release 12.2.58.SE2) access switches.

Two multicast streamers are connected to core switches and boxes are connected to access switches.

IGMP Querrier is configured on Core and fast-leave on access. All equipment are in the same VLAN so i didn't configure multicast routing on the SVI.

On the core switch, i see all the groups (90x) who are diffused by the streamers on the interface of the streamer.

But when i do a wireshark capture on the etherchannel who is going to my access switches, i see all groups diffused!

I don't understand why multicast traffic are diffused on link who not belong to the IGMP group.

Do you have an idea ?

Some commands of the core switchs :

RSW01-MDF1#show ip igmp snooping groups vlan 300

Vlan      Group                    Version     Port List

---------------------------------------------------------

300       239.1.1.12               v2          Te1/2/4

300       239.1.1.21               v2          Te2/2/2

300       239.1.1.23               v2          Te2/2/2

Hi Bob,

Did you ever find out the cause and/or resolution to this issue?

We seem to be experiencing the same thing...

Thanks,

Hello,

It was an instability of the spanning-tree (a trunk interface in the network was flapping and generate TCN every minutes). An IGMP snooping-enabled switch floods multicast traffic to all ports in a VLAN when a spanning-tree Topology Change Notification (TCN) is received.

Usefull CLI to check stp stability :

Router#sh spanning-tree vlan 300 det | in ieee|from|occur|exec

VLAN0300 is executing the rstp compatible Spanning Tree protocol

  Number of topology changes 208 last change occurred 00:00:13 ago

          from Port-channel36

Hope this help

HELLO JF ,

 

we have mulicast streamers ( video wall ) , for that we have enable the IGMP snooping and querier on the switch ( cisco 4506 E ) not on the VLAN .

We have one vlan only , when this multicast streamer is connected to the switch it make all other device very slow and even loss of packets .

we need to kniow what can be done to solve this issue .

 

i have attached the wireshark output and the snapshot for the ping
