IGMP in Nexus 1000v

Last updated: April 11, 2013

Task
Using JPerf, generate a simple multicast feed from Win2k8-www-1 to Win2k8-www-2.
Ensure that you see the IGMP group in N1Kv.

Configuration
We need to have PIM running to manage IGMP, and because we are on the same subnet, and
therefore not routing, PIM passive will work just fine. We will run this on the 3750 for now, but
this could just as easily be ip pim sparse-mode on one of the N7Ks.
On 3750:

ip multicast-routing distributed
interface Vlan110
ip address 10.0.110.254 255.255.255.0
ip pim passive

On Win2k8-www-2, we need to run JPerf and set up the client as shown here. Remember in
multicast, server and client are backward.

FEEDBACK

On Win2k8-www-1, we need to run JPerf and set up the server as shown here.

Verification
Now let's look at our N1Kv IGMP snooping groups.

N1Kv-01# sh ip igmp snooping groups
