Route multicast traffic to specific ports
Hi,
I'm trying to route multicast from specific ip addresses to 3 ports.
The multicast traffic is used by a propreitary device that cannot register to multicast groups on my setup and I would like to route the traffic to the ports manually.
Since the only multicast traffic on the switch are the streams I would like to forward, it doesnt matter to me if I route all the multicast traffic on the switch to those ports.
Switch FW is 12.0.13.8.
I attempted to enable the multicast router on the target ports, Switching -> Multicast -> IGMP Snooping -> Multicast Router Configuration and enabled the 3 ports I would like the traffic to be redirected to - (see the attached screenshot) but it did not work.
I should mention that it did work on an older FW version - 12.0.6.7
Any help is appreciated,
Thanks!

Hi Yishay_me ,
Running the latest firmware, yes, you're only half-way there with your tentative configuration.
- Please try the following using the GUI:
Under Switching/Multicast/IGMP Snooping/Configuration, please disable "Exclude Mrouter Interface Mode"
Under Switching/Multicast/IGMP Snooping/IGMP Snooping VLAN Configuration, please disable "Exclude Mrouter Interface Mode" for the VLAN 1 (if this is the VLAN 1 you are suing on these ports)
And like you were doing in Switching/Multicast/IGMP Snooping/Multicast Router Configuration, please enable the ports 4, 6 and 8.
- Alternatively (same thing) but using the CLI:
vlan database
no set igmp exclude-mrouter-intf 1
vlan routing 1 1
exit
configure
no set igmp exclude-mrouter-intf
interface 1/0/4
set igmp mrouter interface
exit
interface 1/0/6
set igmp mrouter interface
exit
interface 1/0/8
set igmp mrouter interface
exit
exit
I hope this will help you!
