Multicast traffic only goes in one direction (need to send multi cast back)
We have a igmp layer 2 network for multicast video traffic. I am able to join multicast traffic in "one direction" Source A and TV A ---> M5300-52G3 --> LAG --> GS752TS --> Source B and TV B ...
Hi krobinson,
MLD Snooping function behavior is same as IGMP Snooping, just for IPv6/IPv4 protocol.
Could you please provide configuration file to us for further analysis?
How do I send configure files from my Managed Switch to NETGEAR community moderators?

Hi krobinson,
We have got the configuration for two switches. Looks like the IGMP configuration is same on two switches, so the behavior should be same.
Now we have some suggestion for the IGMP configuration:
1. You can enable IGMP Snooping in desired VLAN, no need enable in all VLANs.----I notice on M5300 switch, IGMP Snooping enable on all of VLANs(1/3/20~30/300);
2. We not suggest enable IGMP Snooping for VLAN and ports at the same time. In other words, no need enable IGMP Snooping in all port if it's enabled in VLAN.
3. Could you reload switch and try again after you modify the configuration as above?

Eric,
For clearification:
1. enable igmp snooping only on vlans that have multicast traffic (currently VLANs: 1,3,20-30)
2. enable igmp snooping on vlans only, disable per port configuration. Is this the desired configuration for both swiches??
3. Will try in the morning.
Hi krobinson,
Please see my comments in line:
2. enable igmp snooping on vlans only, disable per port configuration. Is this the desired configuration for both swiches??
Yes, only enable on related VLANs for both switches.
