Configuring Source IP
Address of IGMP Queries
Upon receiving an IGMP query whose source IP address is 0.0.0.0 on a port, the
switch will not set that port as a router port. This may prevent multicast
forwarding entries from being correctly created at the data link layer and cause
multicast traffic forwarding failure in the end. When a Layer-2 device acts as an
IGMP-Snooping querier, to avoid the aforesaid problem, you are commended
configure a non-all-zero IP address as the source IP address of IGMP queries.
Follow these steps to configure source IP address of IGMP queries:
