M4250 Multicast Troubles
Hey all, I'm having toubles with multicast (I think) between a Cisco SG350 and a network of Netgear 4250 AVline switches. The netgear switches are setup in a star config with the Cisco joining the "core" netgear. All seems to work however I'm having issues with a lighting node that requires multicast. The node is doing weird things so I am try to force send a specific multicast address to it. I believe everything should be configured properly. Some switches it seems to work but others not (configured the same I believe just a different number of ports). I'm using MAC filtering under traffic control for this. The second issue I'm having (could be related) is I can't find how to completely disable the IGMP querier on the netgear switches for a specific VLAN. I am using the Cisco as the Querier but the netgears keep electing themselves even with election participte disabled on all. Most of the networking I know is self taught so could easily be wrong. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks
