Page 24 Operation Manual – Multicast H3C S5500-EI Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 2 IGMP Snooping Configuration If a forwarding table entry exists for the reported group and the port is included in the outgoing port list, which means that this port is already a member port, the switch resets the member port aging timer for that port.
Page 25: Processing Of Multicast Protocol Messages
Operation Manual – Multicast H3C S5500-EI Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 2 IGMP Snooping Configuration forwards it through all its router ports in the VLAN and all member ports for that multicast group, and performs the following: If any IGMP report in response to the group-specific query is heard on a member port before its aging timer expires, this means that some host attached to the port is receiving or expecting to receive multicast data for that multicast group.

Page 31: Configuring Simulated Joining
Operation Manual – Multicast H3C S5500-EI Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 2 IGMP Snooping Configuration 2.4.4 Configuring Simulated Joining Generally, a host running IGMP responds to IGMP queries from the IGMP querier. If a host fails to respond due to some reasons, the multicast router may deem that no member of this multicast group exists on the network segment, and therefore will remove the corresponding forwarding path.
Page 32: Configuring Fast Leave Processing
Operation Manual – Multicast H3C S5500-EI Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 2 IGMP Snooping Configuration 2.4.5 Configuring Fast Leave Processing The fast leave processing feature allows the switch to process IGMP leave group messages in a fast way. With the fast leave processing feature enabled, when receiving an IGMP leave group message on a port, the switch immediately removes that port from the outgoing port list of the forwarding table entry for the indicated group.
Page 33: Configuring Igmp Snooping Querier
Operation Manual – Multicast H3C S5500-EI Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 2 IGMP Snooping Configuration Caution: If fast leave processing is enabled on a port to which more than one host is attached, when one host leaves a multicast group, the other hosts attached to the port and interested in the same multicast group will fail to receive multicast data for that group.
Page 34: Configuring Igmp Queries And Responses
Operation Manual – Multicast H3C S5500-EI Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 2 IGMP Snooping Configuration Caution: It is meaningless to configure an IGMP Snooping querier in a multicast network running IGMP. Although an IGMP Snooping querier does not take part in IGMP querier elections, it may affect IGMP querier elections because it sends IGMP general queries with a low source IP address.

Page 111: Introduction To Pim-Dm
Operation Manual – Multicast H3C S5500-EI Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 7 PIM Configuration Note: To facilitate description, a network comprising PIM-capable routers is referred to as a “PIM domain” in this document. 7.1.1 Introduction to PIM-DM PIM-DM is a type of dense mode multicast protocol. It uses the “push mode” for multicast forwarding, and is suitable for small-sized networks with densely distributed multicast members.
Page 112 Operation Manual – Multicast H3C S5500-EI Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 7 PIM Configuration Note: Every activated interface on a router sends hello messages periodically, and thus learns the PIM neighboring information pertinent to the interface. II. SPT establishment The process of building an SPT is the process of “flood and prune”.
Page 113 Operation Manual – Multicast H3C S5500-EI Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 7 PIM Configuration Figure 7-1 SPT establishment The “flood and prune” process takes place periodically. A pruned state timeout mechanism is provided. A pruned branch restarts multicast forwarding when the pruned state times out and then is pruned again when it no longer has any multicast receiver.
Page 114: Introduction To Pim-Sm
Operation Manual – Multicast H3C S5500-EI Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 7 PIM Configuration IV. Assert If multiple multicast routers exist on a multi-access subnet, duplicate packets may flow to the same subnet. To shut off duplicate flows, the assert mechanism is used for election of a single multicast forwarder on a multi-access network.
Page 115: How Pim-Sm Works
Operation Manual – Multicast H3C S5500-EI Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 7 PIM Configuration PIM-SM is a type of sparse mode multicast protocol. It uses the “pull mode” for multicast forwarding, and is suitable for large- and medium-sized networks with sparsely and widely distributed multicast group members.
Page 116 Operation Manual – Multicast H3C S5500-EI Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 7 PIM Configuration I. Neighbor discovery PIM-SM uses exactly the same neighbor discovery mechanism as PIM-DM does. Refer Neighbor discovery. II. DR election PIM-SM also uses hello messages to elect a designated router (DR) for a multi-access network.
Page 117 Operation Manual – Multicast H3C S5500-EI Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 7 PIM Configuration Routers on the multi-access network send hello messages to one another. The hello messages contain the router priority for DR election. The router with the highest DR priority will become the DR.
Page 118 Operation Manual – Multicast H3C S5500-EI Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 7 PIM Configuration Figure 7-4 BSR and C-RPs IV. RPT establishment Figure 7-5 RPT establishment in a PIM-SM domain As shown in Figure 7-5, the process of building an RPT is as follows: When a receiver joins a multicast group G, it uses an IGMP message to inform the directly connected DR.
Page 119 Operation Manual – Multicast H3C S5500-EI Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 7 PIM Configuration The multicast data addressed to the multicast group G flows through the RP, reaches the corresponding DR along the established RPT, and finally is delivered to the receiver.
Page 120: Introduction To Bsr Admin-Scope Regions In Pim-Sm
Operation Manual – Multicast H3C S5500-EI Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 7 PIM Configuration The subsequent multicast data from the multicast source travels along the established SPT to the RP, and then the RP forwards the data along the RPT to the receivers.
Page 121 Operation Manual – Multicast H3C S5500-EI Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 7 PIM Configuration II. Relationship between BSR admin-scope regions and the global scope zone A better understanding of the global scope zone and BSR admin-scope regions should be based on two aspects: geographical space and group address range.

Page 123 Operation Manual – Multicast H3C S5500-EI Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 7 PIM Configuration The SSM model provides a solution for source-specific multicast. It maintains the relationships between hosts and routers through IGMPv3. In actual application, part of the PIM-SM technique is adopted to implement the SSM model.
Page 124: Protocols And Standards
Operation Manual – Multicast H3C S5500-EI Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 7 PIM Configuration As shown in Figure 7-9, Host B and Host C are multicast information receivers.
