M4300 IGMP Snooping table empties after working
I have several M4300 24x24 switches and 1 M4300-96X as the core (all running latest firmware -- 12.0.13.7). I'm streaming video around the building. The configuration is correct. When it works, it...
I'm happy to report that lrbarrios ZeeVee Zyper4K network on mutliple M4300 switches work great now. The NETGEAR ProAV Design team (proavdesign@netgear.com) helped Lonnie and reconfigured the switches all together. NETGEAR M4300 series is pre-configured for perfect multicasting out of the box, with IGMP Plus taking care of the multi-switch IGMP dynamically and automatically, but all the IGMP configuration is at the VLAN level. Instead, Lonnie followed another method with IGMP added config at the physical port (interfaces) level, and it was conflicting bad with IGMP Plus and the VLAN config. We simply removed any IGMP config from the interfaces, and the VLAN config was already there, untouched, so default. Lonnie confirmed since then that the overall AVoIP network was working great!

Hi lrbarrios ,
Sorry about this issue, it must be a configuration issue since M4300 IGMP Plus should take care of it automatically. We can help you and check the configuration of these two switches and make sure IGMP Plus is all enabled. Please send the tech-support file of each switch (Maintenance/Export/HTTP File Export/tech -support in the drop down menu) to us by email at ProAVDesign@netgear.com with a mention to this post so that you don't have to repeat everything. With both files to review, we will know the root cause and come back to you asap.
Many thanks,
