Configured multicast group policy fails to take effect

Symptom

Although a multicast group policy has been configured to allow hosts to join specific multicast groups, the hosts can still receive multicast data addressed to other multicast groups.

Analysis

Solution

  1. Use the display acl command to check the configured ACL rule. Make sure that the ACL rule conforms to the multicast group policy to be implemented.

  2. Use the display this command in IGMP snooping view or in the corresponding interface view to check whether the correct multicast group policy has been applied. If not, use the group-policy or igmp-snooping group-policy command to apply the correct multicast group policy.

  3. Use the display current-configuration command to check whether the function of dropping unknown multicast data is enabled. If not, use the igmp-snooping drop-unknown command to enable the function of dropping unknown multicast data.
