Hi Guys,We have a HPE 5900 as a core-switch.
On this core we have a "vlan 113" for multicasting (IPTV)
On this vlan we have enabled igmp-snooping and igmp-snooping querier.
#
igmp-snooping
#
vlan 113
description IPTV
igmp-snooping enable
igmp-snooping querier

watching iptv IN the vlan works perfect.
At the same site we have vlan2. now we also want to wacht IPTV from vlan 2.
So we have to use multicast routing, sparse or dense mode.
The multicast routing fails in DM or SM.

if we configure Dense mode the streaming also stops in iptv vlan 113

#

igmp enable

somebody knows whats wrong?

We have a Triax headend in iptv vlan 113 that generate the streams.

The strange thing is that if we start our own stream with vlc player and dm is configured, it works only with the vlc stream.

wireshark:

vlc packets: UDP stream --> TTL=5

triax head end: MPEG-TS stream (udp) --> TTL=16

THANKS!!!!!

I think you need to issue the pim-snooping enable command, per vlan.

display pim-snooping statistics and display pim-snooping routing-table could be useful for you here.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply but we solved it already.

Ther were 2 problems. our headend (source of multicast streams) didn't had an ip address.

after giving it an IP we created a multicast route to it. now everything works!
