Property

Description

fast-leave (yes | no; Default: no)Enables IGMP/MLD fast leave feature on the bridge port. The bridge will stop forwarding multicast traffic to a bridge port when an IGMP/MLD leave message is received. This property only has an effect when igmp-snooping is set to yes.
multicast-router (disabled | permanent | temporary-query; Default: temporary-query)A multicast router port is a port where a multicast router or querier is connected. On this port, unregistered multicast streams and IGMP/MLD membership reports will be sent. This setting changes the state of the multicast router for bridge ports. This property can be used to send IGMP/MLD membership reports to certain bridge ports for further multicast routing or proxying. This property only has an effect when igmp-snooping is set to yes.
  • disabled - disabled multicast router state on the bridge port. Unregistered multicast and IGMP/MLD membership reports are not sent to the bridge port regardless of what is connected to it.
  • permanent - enabled multicast router state on the bridge port. Unregistered multicast and IGMP/MLD membership reports are sent to the bridge port regardless of what is connected to it.
  • temporary-query - automatically detect multicast router state on the bridge port using IGMP/MLD queries.

Monitoring and troubleshooting

...

This section describes the IGMP/MLD snooping bridge monitoring and troubleshooting options

To monitor learned multicast database (MDB) entries, use the print command.

Sub-menu: /interface bridge mdb

Property

Description

bridge (read-only: name)Shows the bridge interface the entry belongs to.
group (read-only: ipv4 | ipv6 address)Shows a multicast group address.
ports (read-only: name)Shows the bridge ports which are subscribed to the certain multicast group.
vid (read-only: integer)Shows the VLAN ID for the multicast group, only applies when vlan-filtering is enabled.

To monitor the current status of a bridge interface, use the monitor command.

Sub-menu: /interface bridge

Property

Description

igmp-querier (none | interface & IPv4 address)Shows a bridge port and source IP address from the detected IGMP querier. Only shows detected external IGMP querier, local bridge IGMP querier (including IGMP proxy and PIM) will not be displayed. Monitoring value appears only when igmp-snooping is enabled.
mld-querier (none | interface & IPv6 address)Shows a bridge port and source IPv6 address from the detected MLD querier. Only shows detected external MLD querier, local bridge MLD querier will not be displayed. Monitoring value appears only when igmp-snooping is enabled and the bridge has an active IPv6 address.
multicast-router (yes | no)Shows if a multicast router is detected on the bridge interface. Monitoring value appears only when igmp-snooping is enabled.
