The output shows that Ethernet 1/0/3 on Switch B has joined 224.1.1.1 but not 224.1.1.2.
Assume that Source 2 starts sending multicast traffic to 224.1.1.1. Use the display multicast

forwarding-table to display the multicast forwarding table information.
# Display the information about 224.1.1.1 in the multicast forwarding table on Switch A.

The output shows that Switch A maintains a multicast forwarding entry for multicast packets from Source
1 to 224.1.1.1. No forwarding entry exists to forward packets from Source 2 to 224.1.1.1, which indicates

that multicast packets from Source 2 are blocked.

Troubleshooting IGMP snooping configuration

Switch fails in layer 2 multicast forwarding

Symptom

A switch fails to implement Layer 2 multicast forwarding.

Analysis

IGMP snooping is not enabled.

Solution

1.

Enter the display current-configuration command to view the running status of IGMP snooping.

2.

If IGMP snooping is not enabled, use the igmp-snooping command to enable IGMP snooping
globally, and then use igmp-snooping enable command to enable IGMP snooping in VLAN view.

3.

If IGMP snooping is disabled only for the corresponding VLAN, just use the igmp-snooping enable
command in VLAN view to enable IGMP snooping in the corresponding VLAN.

Configured multicast group policy fails to take effect

Symptom

Although a multicast group policy has been configured to allow hosts to join specific multicast groups, the

hosts can still receive multicast data addressed to other multicast groups.
