M4300 52G and M4300-24X24F
Hi There,
I have 2 Core x M4300-24X24F ProSAFE 24-port 10GBASE-T and 24-port 10G SFP+ stacked together on ports 45-48
I then have;
1 x Edge1 M4300-52G ProSAFE 48-port 1G and 2-port 10GBASE-T and 2-port 10G SFP+ connected to ports 1:1 & 2:1 LAG
1 x Edge2 M4300-52G ProSAFE 48-port 1G and 2-port 10GBASE-T and 2-port 10G SFP+ connected to ports 1:2 & 2:2 LAG
These switches are being used for KVM over IP using Adder KVMs

Edge 2 setup the same as Edge 1 with a Snooping Querier Address:1169.254.100.102
Devices on Edge 1 work perfectly fine with IGMP multicast allowing multiple streams of KVM audio and video to several receivers.
However Any Device on Edge 2 cannot correctly receive multicast information from edge 1 and vice versa, they seem to receive a multicast IP in the adder management, but will not pass video streams/traffic.
What am I missing or whats configured incorrectly?
Any help appreciated
Thanks
