IGMP Proxy Topology Diagram

As it is show in the figure above, the switch functions as IGMP Proxy in a network of topology

of tree, the switch aggregates the multicast dataflow from upstream port and redistributes them

to the downstream ports, while the IGMP membership reports flow from downstream ports to

upstream ports. Three IGMP Proxy enabled switches which are connected in tree topology,

respectively have one port connected to multicast routers, and no less than one ports

connected to hosts or upstream ports from other IGMP Proxy enabled switches.

The configuration steps are listed below:

Switch#config

Switch(config)#ip igmp proxy

Switch(Config)#interface vlan 1

Switch(Config-if-Vlan1)#ip igmp proxy upstream

Switch(Config)#interface vlan 2

Switch(Config-if-Vlan2)#ip igmp proxy downstream

Multicast Configuration:

Suppose the multicast server offers some programs through 224.1.1.1. Some hosts subscribe

that program at the edge of the network. The IGMP multicast members report themselves to

the downstream ports of IGMP Proxy enabled Switch 2 and Switch 3. Switch 2 and Switch 3

then aggregate the group membership information and send them through the upstream ports.

Switch 1 finally forward these membership information to the multicast router when receiving

the group membership information through upstream ports, and deliver the multicast dataflow
