(3) Items to check for first-hop-router
The following table shows the items to check when the Switch is used as
first-hop-router in an
IPv6 PIM-SSM network configuration.
Table 3-53: Items to check for first-hop-router
3.12.4 Multicast data is forwarded twice in the IPv6 PIM-SSM network
If multicast data is forwarded twice in an IPv6 PIM-SSM network configuration, check the settings
of each router and if multiple routers exist in one network, modify the settings so that PIM runs on
the interface in the network.
The following table shows the items to check when data continues to be forwarded twice even after
you have checked and modified the settings as described above.
9 Check whether any anomaly has been detected on any
interface.
show ipv6 mld interface
Make sure that no warning information is displayed for
Notice.
If warning information is displayed, check the
following:
•
L: More participation requests than the expected
maximum number have occurred. Check the
number of connected users.
•
Q: The MLD version is different from that on the
neighboring router. Use the same MLD version.
•
R: A user is sending a report that cannot be
received with the current settings. Change the
MLD version on the Switch, or check the settings
of the participation user.
•
S: Parts of the participation information have been
discarded because the number of sources stored in
a message exceeds the maximum number for
MLDv2. Check the settings of the participation
user.
No. Items to check and commands Action
1 Make sure that the Switch is directly connected to the
multicast sender.
If the Switch is not connected directly, check the
network configuration.
2 Make sure that PIM or MLD is running on the interface
connected to the multicast sender.
show ipv6 pim interface
show ipv6 mld interface
If PIM or MLD is not running, check and modify the
configuration so that PIM or MLD runs on the
interface.
3 Check whether multicast data has reached the Switch. If the multicast data has not reached the Switch, check
the settings of the multicast sender.
4 Check whether the group address and source address
are the same between multicast data and multicast
routing information.
show ipv6 mroute
show netstat multicast
If the different group address and source address are
used, check the settings of the multicast sender and
last-hop-router.
