Troubleshooting Commands
To troubleshoot issues with multicast IGMP snooping, use the following commands:
You can use the show cdp neighbor command because IGMP uses the packet VLAN to forward IGMP packets to the VSM, which is the same mechanism that CDP uses. However, if you have disabled the CDP protocol on the upstream switch using the no cdp enable command, then the show cdp neighbor command will not display any information.
Example 18-1 show cdp neighbor Command
n1000V# show cdp neighbor

n1000V Eth3/4 179 R S I WS-C6506-E Gig5/23
Use the show ip igmp groups command to make sure IGMP snooping is enabled on the VLAN.
Example 18-2 show ip igmp snooping vlan Command
n1000V# show ip igmp snooping vlan 159
IGMP Snooping information for vlan 159
IGMP snooping enabled <-- IGMP SNOOPING is enabled for vlan 159
IGMPv3 Explicit tracking enabled (initializing, time-left: 00:03:20)
IGMPv2 Fast leave disabled
IGMPv1/v2 Report suppression enabled
IGMPv3 Report suppression disabled

On the VSM, use the following command:
- module vem module-number execute vemcmd show vlan
In Example 18-4, the output shows that LTL 18 corresponds to vmnic3, and LTL 47 corresponds to VM fedora8, interface eth0.
The multicast group table for 224.1.2.3, shows the interfaces the VEM will forward to when it receives multicast traffic for group 224.1.2.3. If fedora8 has multicast group 224.1.2.3 on its eth0 interface, then LTL 47 should be in the multicast group table for 224.1.2.3.
LTL 18 is also in multicast group 224.1.2.3, which means it is a VM and generates multicast traffic to 224.1.2.3. The traffic will be forwarded to vmnic3, which is the uplink to the upstream switch.
The multicast group table entry for 0.0.0.0 serves as a default route. If any multicast group traffic does not match any of the multilcast group, the address will use the default route, which means, in this case, that the traffic will be forwarded to an upstream switch through vmnic3.
Example 18-4 module vem module-number execute vemcmd show vlan Command
n1000V# module vem 3 execute vemcmd show vlan 159
