interface, GigabitEthernet 0/1 of the firewall.
Troubleshooting IGMP
This section describes common IGMP problems and how to troubleshoot them.
No membership information exists on the receiver-side router
Symptom
When a host sends a report for joining multicast group G, no membership information of the multicast
group G exists on the router closest to that host.
Analysis
• The correctness of networking and interface connections and whether the protocol layer of the
interface is up directly affect the generation of group membership information.
• Multicast routing must be enabled on the router, and IGMP must be enabled on the interface that
connects to the host.
• If the IGMP version on the router interface is lower than that on the host, the router will not be able
to recognize the IGMP report from the host.
• If you have configured the igmp group-policy command on the interface, the interface cannot
receive report messages that fail to pass filtering.
