[e-nsp] Summit450X - strange IGMP-snooping on port connected to Linux server?

Hi Frederik,

 

If your server is considered as a Router, that means that it is advertising
on multicast address : 224.0.0.2

 

So do a TCPDUMP to check if so and verify if you don't have a router feature
enabled.

 

Regards, Fabian.

Hi,
Thanks for your answer. But isn't the BCR and CBSR config only important if 
you are running the Switch in layer3?
 
I am only using it as a layer2 switch.
 
I still think that it is strange that the switch is considering this server
as being
a "router" when running the show commands. There must be some critera for
the switch to do that or? 
 
More info about this Linux server:
My Linux server is running JBoss and I see some IGMP-join packages to going
to
224.0.0.75 and 228.30.4.76 when starting up.
 
Best Regards

Hi,
I am using a Summit450X as a layer2 switch in my multicast network. 
I am using PIM SM on my routers and I am running IGMP snooping on my layer2
switches.

On this 450X-switch I have a HP server runnning Linux connected to port 21.

When running some show commands (see below) it looks like the switch thinks
that the 
server is a router? And that it should get all Multicast streams? 

 

You might have to play a lot more with the priorities so you figure this
out, I would think. 

 



Can anyone explain what is causing this? 

 

I think the answer might be between the configuration settings you have got
for both the BSR and CBSR.

 


Is my switch misconfigured or is my server doing something strange?
What is the criteria for being listed as a router by the switch?

Port 45 is connected to the closest router.

Any ideas of what could be causing this kind of behaviour is appreciated!

 

If you don't want this box to participate the the multicast traffic then I
would suggest you remove that port form the selected list, OR make the
specified port that you want to be the BSR by using the priorities.

 

Hope it helps.

 

Regards

 



Best Regards
Fredrik
