Hi all!
I have one X435-24P-4S, to which I connected two PCs; on port 1 there is a sender with VLC streaming video on multicast address 239.1.1.1; on port 2, receiver with VLC listening on the same multicast address. Both have unicast IP addresses:
- Sender: 10.100.0.2/24, gateway: 10.100.0.1/24 streaming on 239.1.1.1
- Receiver: 10.200.0.2/24, gateway: 10.200.0.1/24 listening for 239.1.1.1
Multicast stream is working without a problem when hosts are placed in the same VLAN.
Now I create two VLANs:
- "video", tag: 100, ipaddress: 10.100.0.1/24, with port 1 untagged
- "workstation", tag: 200, ipaddress: 10.200.0.1/24 with port 2 untagged
IP forwarding is enabled on both VLANs. As expected, the receiver no longer sees multicast steam.
So, to leak stream 239.1.1.1 to "workstation" I configure MVR on "video":
enable mvr
configure mvr add vlan video
Reading EXOS User Guide, I understood that this should be enough to leak the stream to "workstation", but this doesn't happen. There is "mvr" entry in igmp snooping cache:
X435-24P-4S.9 # show igmp snooping cache group 239.1.1.1/32
Snooping/MVR Cache Timeout: 300 sec
Type Group Sender Age InVlan
mvr 239.1.1.1 10.100.0.2 24 video
Vlan Port Vid
video 1 100
workstation 2 200
Multicast cache distribution:
3 entries from Snooping 1 entries from MVR 0 entries from PIM
Total Cache Entries: 4
but the stream doesn't hit the receiver and wireshark confirms this.
Is there something that I'm missing? I tried to configure static and dynamic MVR, but this didn't solved my problem.
