Multicast Configuration: 
Suppose  the  server  provides  programs  through  the  multicast  address  224.1.1.1,  and  some 
hosts subscribe that  program  on  the edge of the  network. The host reports their IGMP 
multicast group membership to Switch 2 and Switch 3 through downstream ports. Switch 2 and 
Switch 3 then aggregate and forward them to Switch 1 which then forwards the information to 
multicast  router. When  multicast  dataflow  arrives,  the  IGMP  Proxy  enabled  switches  re-
distribute  the  group  membership  through  upstream  ports  and  downstream  ports. When  the 
multicast router receives the multicast dataflow from IGMP proxy, it will consider the multicast 
data  source  is  directly  connected  to  the  router,  and  determine  the  identity  of  DR  and 
ORIGINATOR. The multicast dataflow will be redistributed according to the PIM protocol. 
28.11.4 IGMP Proxy Troubleshooting 
When  IGMP Proxy  function  configuration  and usage,  IGMP Proxy might  not  run  properly 
because of physical connection or configuration mistakes. So the users should note that: 
Make sure physical connection correctly; 
Activate IGMP Proxy on whole Global mode (use ip igmp proxy); 
Make  sure  configure  one  upstream  port  and  at  least  one  downstream  port  under  interface 
configuration mode (Use ip igmp proxy upstream, ip igmp proxy downstream); 
Use show ip igmp proxy command to check if the IGMP Proxy information is correct. 
If the  IGMP Proxy problem remains unsolved, please  use debug IGMP  Proxy and other 
debugging command and copy the DEBUG message within three minutes, send the recorded 
message to the technical service center of our company.
