Incorrect IGMP handling with simulator version 10.09.0002

  • 1.  Incorrect IGMP handling with simulator version 10.09.0002

    I have the following lab environment built in EVE-NG:

    (Lines going to the right are management interfaces so I can access the devices from my own computer)

    I'm doing wireshark capture on ArubaCX5 interface 1/1/6 but I do not see IGMP Join messages going from Linux9 towards ArubaCX4. If I do packet capture on ArubaCX5 on interface 1/1/1 I can see those.

    Shouldn't IGMP join messages go through ArubaCX5 when I don't have any multicast configuration on that switch? I have interface vlan10 on ArubaCX4 and it works otherwise just fine (I can SSH from Linux9 to ArubaCX4 on 10.0.10.1) but no IGMP messages are seen there.

    Is this a problem with simulator version or am I doing something incorrectly?

    With my physical lab gear, I have Linux <--> CX-access1 <--> CX-agg1 and I have same config on the CX-agg1 and it seems to be working fine. I don't have any multicat config on CX-access1, just access vlan 10 towards Linux and vlan trunk towards CX-agg1. After I start iperf and bind it to multicast group on Linux client I can see this on CX-agg1:

    CX-agg1# show ip igmp groups
    
    IGMP group information for group 224.0.10.10
    
    Interface Name   : vlan10
    VRF Name         : default
    
    Group Address    : 224.0.10.10
    Last Reporter    : 10.0.10.10

    (Also this code snippet should have AOS-S/AOS-CX highlights :) )

    I think this is how it should be? Didn't see anything metioned in the simulator release notes that multicast wouldn't work?
