# IGMP Snooping

### 1. Function Overview

IGMP snooping is a function to suppress consumption of network bandwidth in a VLAN environment, by controlling any surplus multicast flooding.
On an L2 switch, since multicast packets are distributed per VLAN, if there is even one device in the VLAN that wants to receive the multicast packet, the packet will be distributed to all ports within the same VLAN.

- Operations during multicast distribution (no IGMP snooping)

When using the IGMP snooping function, the IGMP messages exchanged between the receiving device and the multicast router are monitored (snooped), the packet from the relevant group will only be distributed to the port, to which the device that wants to receive the multicast packet is connected.

- Operations during multicast distribution (using IGMP snooping)

### 2. Definition of Terms Used

IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol)

This is a protocol to control multicast groups.
The multicast router can determine which hosts on the LAN are members of the multicast group, and the hosts can communicate which multicast group they belong to.
There are three protocol versions, respectively defined by IGMPv1 (RFC1112), IGMPv2 (RFC2236) and IGMPv3 (RFC3376).

Multicast Router Port

This is the LAN/SFP port to which the multicast router is connected.
The LAN/SFP port that receives the IGMP general query is automatically acquired as the multicast router port.

IGMP Report Suppression Function

This is a function where the switch controls the data transmission load between the multicast router and the hosts.
The messages gathered by this product to perform control are shown below.

- IGMP reports replied to IGMP general queries by hosts, sent from the multicast router

- IGMP leave messages notified by the host

The report suppression function works with IGMPv1/v2/v3.

Fast Leave Function

If a LAN/SFP port receives an IGMPv2/v3 leave message, this function immediately disconnects the port from ports receiving multicast traffic (deletes the FDB entry necessary for transmission).
Normally, when processing IGMPv2/v3 messages, if a leave message is received, a group-specific query is transmitted to that port to confirm that the receiver exists, but if the fast leave function is enabled, that action is not performed.
For this reason, the fast leave function is effective only when there is a single receiver under the control of the LAN/SFP port.
The fast leave function operates only when an IGMPv2/v3 leave message is received.
If the fast leave function is enabled and the auto-assignment option is specified, the port to which the switch is connected under the control of the LAN/SFP port will confirm that a receiver exists when a leave message is received.
The auto-assignment option allows you to use the fast leave function in a cascaded switch configuration.

IGMP Query Transmission Function (IGMP Querier)

This is a function to send IGMP general and specific queries.
It is used to enable the IGMP snooping function in an environment without a multicast router.

Data Transfer Suppression Function for Multicast Router Ports

This function controls multicast data being forwarded to the multicast router port.
Normally, all multicast group data already acquired by the product is forwarded to the multicast router port, but if this function is enabled, then only multicast group data acquired by receiving an IGMP report via the multicast router port is forwarded.
If unnecessary multicast data flow between switches is restricting bandwidth, the problem can be mitigated by enabling this function in combination with the l2-unknown-mcast discard command.

IGMP Report Forwarding Function

This function forwards IGMP Join/Leave messages to ports to which a switch is connected under the control of the LAN/SFP port.
By enabling this function, IGMP Join/Leave messages will be forwarded to non-querier switches in a cascaded switch configuration.
When using the data transfer suppression function for multicast router ports in an environment where multiple multicast data flow, we recommend that this function be enabled.

### 3. Function Details

The operating specifications for IGMP snooping are shown below.

1. This product offers snooping functions compatible with IGMP v1/v2/v3.
   You can use the ip igmp snooping version command to make later versions operate on this product.
   Version settings are made for the VLAN interface, and initial settings are for v3.
   The difference in operations between the configured version and received frame versions are shown in the table below.

   - If an IGMP query whose version is higher than the settings is received, the version will be lowered to the version that was configured, and the query will be forwarded.

   - If an IGMP report whose version is higher than the configured version is received, the relevant report will be discarded without being forwarded.

   - If an IGMP query and report of a lower version than the specified version is received, it is forwarded unmodified as the received version.

2. The settings to enable/disable IGMP snooping are made for the VLAN interface.
   The default value is disabled.

3. The IGMP snooping function can handle the following six operations.

   - Multicast router port setting

   - IGMP report suppression

   - Fast leave

   - IGMP query transmission

   - Suppression of data forwarding to multicast router port

   - IGMP report forwarding

4. Although the multicast router port is automatically acquired on VLAN interfaces where IGMP snooping is set to “Enabled”, the ip igmp snooping mrouter interface command can also be used to make static settings.
   The show ip igmp snooping mrouter command is used to check multicast router ports that are set for the VLAN interface.

5. The IGMP report suppression function is specified for VLAN interfaces using the ip igmp snooping report-suppression command.
   The default value is enabled.
   When transmitting an IGMP report or IGMP leave message using the report suppression function, the IPv4 address allocated to the VLAN interface will be used for the source IPv4 address.
   (The address will be set and transmitted as “0.0.0.0” if it has not been allocated.)

6. The fast leave function is set for the VLAN interface using the ip igmp snooping fast-leave command.
   The default value is disabled.
   If the fast leave function is enabled and the auto-assignment option is specified, and a network switch is connected under the control of the LAN/SFP port, the fast leave function is automatically disabled on that port.
   To determine whether or not a switch is connected under the control of the LAN/SFP port, the basic management TLV “System Capabilities” of the LLDP frame received on that port is checked to see if “Bridge” is contained in the TLV.
   Therefore, when using the auto-assignment option, enable LLDP transmission and reception on both this product and the counterpart switch and add the basic management TLV to the transmitted frames.

7. The IGMP query transmission function is supported in order to allow use of IGMP snooping in environments that do not have a multicast router.
   The IGMP query transmission function is controlled with the following two parameters.

   - IGMP query transmission function Enable/disable

     - The ip igmp snooping querier command is used for VLAN interfaces.

     - The default value is disabled.

   - IGMP query transmission interval

     - This is executed using the ip igmp snooping query-interval command.

     - The transmission interval can be set from 20–18,000 sec., and the default value is 125 sec.

8. When multiple devices transmit queries within a VLAN, the query is sent by the device with the lowest IPv4 address within the VLAN.
   When this product receives a query from a device whose IPv4 address is lower than its own, the query transmission function will be halted.
   The source IPv4 address that is set when a query is transmitted uses the IPv4 address allocated to the VLAN interface. If an IPv4 address has not been allocated, an IPv4 address allocated to a different VLAN interface is used instead. (If no IPv4 addresses have been allocated to any VLAN interfaces, the address will be set and transmitted as “0.0.0.0”.)

9. This product features a function that forces the TTL value of a received IGMP packet to change to “1” if the TTL value is invalid (a value other than “1”), instead of discarding the packet.
   This is defined as the “TTL check function”, and it can be configured for a VLAN interface by using the ip igmp snooping check ttl command.
   The default setting value for the TTL check function is enabled (packets with invalid TTL values are discarded).

10. This product features a function that adds the RA (Router Alert) option to an IP header of a received IGMPv2/IGMPv3 packet that does not contain the RA option and forwards it instead of discarding.
    This is defined as the “RA check function”, and it can be configured for a VLAN interface by using the ip igmp snooping check ra command.
    The default value of the RA check function is set to Disabled (forward packets that do not contain the RA option).

11. This product features a function that forces the ToS (Type of field) value of a received IGMPv3 packet to change to “0xc0” if the ToS value is invalid (a value other than “0xc0”), instead of discarding the packet.
    This is defined as the “ToS check function”, and it can be configured for a VLAN interface by using the ip igmp snooping check tos command.
    The default value of ToS check function is set to Disabled (forward packets with invalid ToS values).

12. The data transfer suppression function for multicast router ports is specified for VLAN interfaces using the ip igmp snooping mrouter-port data-suppression command.
    The default value is disabled.

13. The IGMP report forwarding function is specified using the ip igmp snooping report-forward command for VLAN interfaces.
    The default value is disabled.
    When this function is enabled and a network switch is connected under the control of the LAN/SFP port, IGMP Join/Leave messages will be forwarded to that port.
    To determine whether or not a switch is connected under the control of the LAN/SFP port, the basic management TLV “System Capabilities” of the LLDP frame received on that port is checked to see if “Bridge” is contained in the TLV.
    Therefore, when using this function, enable LLDP transmission and reception on both this product and the counterpart switch and add the basic management TLV to the transmitted frames.

#### 5.3. IGMP snooping settings (If distributing data in both directions)

In a configuration with two switches, both switches are connected to a multicast server and computer.
Each computer frequently switches between participating multicast groups to minimize the interruption time.

- Switch #A

  - Set LAN ports #1–#4 as access ports and associate them with VLAN #10.

  - Enable the IGMP query transmission function.
    Set the IGMP query transmission interval to 20 sec.

    - Enable LLDP transmission and reception and add the basic management TLV to the transmitted frames.

    - Enable the auto-assignment option.

  - Disable the IGMP report suppression function.

  - Increasing the number of multicast servers or data distributions could cause port bandwidth restrictions, so the data transfer suppression function for multicast router ports is enabled to only forward the minimum data necessary.
    Also, unknown multicast frames are set to be discarded.

  - To forward IGMP reports to non-queriers, perform the following operations.

    - Enable LLDP transmission and reception and add the basic management TLV to the transmitted frames.

    - Enable the IGMP report forwarding function.

#### 5.4. IGMP snooping settings (for separating multiple multicast environments with VLANs)

Using a single network switch, multicast environments are reconfigured with synchronized times and data streams separated by VLANs.
VLAN #1 is used for management, VLAN #10 for time synchronization, and VLAN #20 for streaming.

- Entire system

  - The entire system is configured to always forward linked local multicasting addresses.

- VLAN #1

  - LAN port #1 is set as the access port associated to VLAN #1.

  - Enable the IGMP query transmission function.

- VLAN #10

  - LAN ports #3 to #4 are set as access ports associated to VLAN #10.

  - To minimize any interruptions in PTP packet streams (224.0.1.129 to 224.0.1.132), the VLAN is always kept flooded.

  - Enable the IGMP query transmission function.

- VLAN #20

  - LAN ports #5 to #8 are set as access ports associated to VLAN #20.

  - This discards unknown multicast frames to prevent restricting bandwidth due to unnecessary multicasting in VLAN #20.

  - Enable the IGMP query transmission function.
    Set the IGMP query transmission interval to 20 sec.

  - Enable the fast leave function.

1. Configure the entire system to always forward linked local multicasting addresses.

       Yamaha(config)#l2-unknown-mcast forward link-local

2. Specify IGMP snooping for VLAN #1.

       Yamaha(config)#interface vlan1
       Yamaha(config-if)#ip igmp snooping enable (1)
       Yamaha(config-if)#ip igmp snooping querier (2)

   1 | Enable IGMP snooping for VLAN #1
   2 | Enable the IGMP query transmission function for VLAN #1 Since IGMP snooping is enabled by default, we do not need to set this specifically.

3. Define VLAN #10 and specify IGMP snooping and multicast forwarding.

       Yamaha(config)# vlan database
       Yamaha(config-vlan)#vlan 10 (1)
       Yamaha(config-vlan)#exit
       Yamaha(config)#interface vlan10
       Yamaha(config-if)#l2-mcast flood 224.0.1.129 (2)
       Yamaha(config-if)#l2-mcast flood 224.0.1.130 (3)
       Yamaha(config-if)#l2-mcast flood 224.0.1.131 (4)
       Yamaha(config-if)#l2-mcast flood 224.0.1.132 (5)
       Yamaha(config-if)#ip igmp snooping enable (6)
       Yamaha(config-if)#ip igmp snooping querier (7)

   1 | Define VLAN #10
   2 | Always flood 224.0.1.129 on VLAN #10
   3 | Always flood 224.0.1.130 on VLAN #10
   4 | Always flood 224.0.1.131 on VLAN #10
   5 | Always flood 224.0.1.132 on VLAN #10
   6 | Enable IGMP Snooping for VLAN #10
   7 | Enable the IGMP query transmission function for VLAN #10 Since IGMP snooping is enabled by default, we do not need to set this specifically.

4. Set LAN ports #3–#4 as access ports, and associate them with VLAN #10.

       Yamaha(config)# interface port1.3
       Yamaha(config-if)# switchport mode access
       Yamaha(config-if)# switchport access vlan 10
       (1)

   1 | Configure the settings above for LAN port #4 as well.

5. Define VLAN #20 and specify IGMP snooping and multicast forwarding.

       Yamaha(config)# vlan database
       Yamaha(config-vlan)#vlan 20 (1)
       Yamaha(config-vlan)#exit
       Yamaha(config)#interface vlan20
       Yamaha(config-if)#l2-unknown-mcast discard (2)
       Yamaha(config-if)#ip igmp snooping enable (3)
       Yamaha(config-if)#ip igmp snooping query-interval 20 (4)
       Yamaha(config-if)#ip igmp snooping querier (5)
       Yamaha(config-if)#ip igmp snooping fast-leave (6)

   1 | Define VLAN #20
   2 | Discard unknown multicast on VLAN #20
   3 | Enable IGMP snooping for VLAN #20
   4 | Set the IGMP query transmission interval for VLAN #20 to 20 sec.
   5 | Enable the IGMP query transmission function for VLAN #20
   6 | Enable the fast leave function for VLAN #20 Since IGMP snooping is enabled by default, we do not need to set this specifically.

6. [Switch #A] Set LAN ports #5–#8 as access ports, and associate them with VLAN #20.

       Yamaha(config)# interface port1.5
       Yamaha(config-if)# switchport mode access
       Yamaha(config-if)# switchport access vlan 20
       (1)

   1 | Configure the settings above for LAN ports #6–#8 as well.

7. Confirm the information for the multicast recipient.
   PTP packets (224.0.1.129 to 224.0.1.132) are not listed because they are always kept flooded at that time.

       20     239.0.0.1                port1.6        R      00:00:02   00:00:48 192.168.100.1     V3
       20     239.0.0.2                port1.8        R      00:00:02   00:00:48 192.168.100.2     V3

### 6. Points of Caution

- If you want to change the handling of unknown multicast frames, use the l2-unknown-mcast command.

- When a topology change is detected, if you want to send a query regardless of the normal transmission interval, set the l2-mcast snooping tcn-query command.
