Network Management

I have multi-cast flooding on our network several times a day which is causing issues. 

For example our access points are loosing heartbeat because the multi-cast traffic is reaching upwards of 90%. 

Here is a configuration from two vlans on an hp 5412zl2 router. 

vlan 2
name "LAN"
untagged A1-A24,B4-B24,C1-C24,D1-D24,E1-E24,F1-F24,H1-H24,I1-I24,J1-J24,K1-K24,L1-L24
ip helper-address 10.1.0.80
ip address 10.2.0.1 255.255.254.0
ip igmp
ip pim-sparse
ip-addr any
exit

vlan 3
name "Wireless"
tagged A1-A24,B4-B24,C1-C24,D1-D24,E1-E24,F1-F24,H1-H24,I1-I24,J1-J24,K1-K24,L1-L24
ip helper-address 10.1.0.80
ip address 10.3.0.1 255.255.254.0
ip igmp
ip pim-sparse
ip-addr any
exit


I have been researching this but wanted to ask for other opinions on the matter.

We have 5412zl2, 5406, 2920, 2530, and some 2510's .

Our staff require casting from LAN to wireless and vice versa. They also require a multicast media box they can use VLC player to display on devices throughout the network.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Sounds like a job for IGMP.  Unfortunately, I can't say much more than that since I'm in the same boat.  Best of luck,

Are you dropping broadcasts on all of your WLANs?  Also can you separate the access point management vlan from the user vlans?

I have tried to place 2 of the access points on their own management vlan and they still lose heartbeats.
We have SNMP sensors set up on uplinks between our switches so we can monitor the traffic.
When we see a sudden rise in multi-cast on the snmp traffic it matches the switch logs that indicate excessive multicast on the uplink and 
dropped packets on all interfaces that are running under 1Gbps speed. 
These times also match the times our access points have loss of heart beat to the controller.
We have fault finder set to the default (medium)

Why is your router allowing multicast on those VLANs/subnets?  By default routers do not forward broadcast/multicast traffic.

Because the staff require using casting form the Wired network to the wireless network and back.
They also require watching a show that streams from wired network to both wired or wireless networks.
The multi caster is an aver media box that streams a UDP source address.

The Access points are on  VLAN 2.

Wireless users are on VLAN 3.

I have moved 2 of the access points over to a new VLAN that only has them on it, however that does not help.

The switches never lose ping but the Access Points do. 

Both the switches and the access points are on VLAN 2 which is the default VLAN.

Question:

Simple network consists of 1 Router and 1 Switch.  

When configuring ip igmp on the Router you set:
ip igmp
pim-dense
ip addr any

Is it required to also set ip igmp on each VLAN you wish to use multicast on the swtich as well?

Subject: preventing Multi-Cast flooding

I have tried to place 2 of the access points on their own management vlan and they still lose heartbeats.
We have SNMP sensors set up on uplinks between our switches so we can monitor the traffic.
When we see a sudden rise in multi-cast on the snmp traffic it matches the switch logs that indicate excessive multicast on the uplink and 
dropped packets on all interfaces that are running under 1Gbps speed. 
These times also match the times our access points have loss of heart beat to the controller.
We have fault finder set to the default (medium)

Are you dropping broadcasts on all of your WLANs?  Also can you separate the access point management vlan from the user vlans?

I have multi-cast flooding on our network several times a day which is causing issues. 

For example our access points are loosing heartbeat because the multi-cast traffic is reaching upwards of 90%. 

Here is a configuration from two vlans on an hp 5412zl2 router. 

vlan 2
name "LAN"
untagged A1-A24,B4-B24,C1-C24,D1-D24,E1-E24,F1-F24,H1-H24,I1-I24,J1-J24,K1-K24,L1-L24
ip helper-address 10.1.0.80
ip address 10.2.0.1 255.255.254.0
ip igmp
ip pim-sparse
ip-addr any
exit

vlan 3
name "Wireless"
tagged A1-A24,B4-B24,C1-C24,D1-D24,E1-E24,F1-F24,H1-H24,I1-I24,J1-J24,K1-K24,L1-L24
ip helper-address 10.1.0.80
ip address 10.3.0.1 255.255.254.0
ip igmp
ip pim-sparse
ip-addr any
exit


I have been researching this but wanted to ask for other opinions on the matter.

We have 5412zl2, 5406, 2920, 2530, and some 2510's .

Our staff require casting from LAN to wireless and vice versa. They also require a multicast media box they can use VLC player to display on devices throughout the network.

Can someone point me in the right direction?
