Troubleshooting Procedure
NOTE
Saving the results of each troubleshooting step is recommended. If your troubleshooting fails to correct
the fault, you will have a record of your actions to provide Huawei technical support personnel.
Procedure
Step 1
Check that multicast is enabled on the device.
Run the
display current-configuration
command on the device that is directly connected to
hosts to check the current configurations of the device.
l
If the command output does not contain
multicast routing-enable
, run the
multicast
routing-enable
command in the system view to enable multicast on the device first and
then complete other IGMP configurations. For details, see the Huawei AR2200-S Series
Enterprise Routers
Configuration Guide
-
Multicast
.
l
If multicast has been enabled on the device, go to
.
Step 2
Check that the interface status is Up.
Run the
display interface
interface-type interface-number
command on the device to check
configurations of the interface directly connected with the network segment of the hosts.
l
If the command output contains
interface-type interface-number current state:
DOWN
, it indicates that the interface is physically Down. Then you need to check the
networking and ensure that the interface is properly connected.
l
If the command output contains
Line protocol current state : DOWN
, it indicates that
the protocol status of the interface is Down. Then you need to perform the following
operations:
–
Check whether the interface is in shutdown state.
Run the
display current-configuration
interface
interface-type interface-number
command to check the current configurations of the interface. If the command output
contains
shutdown
, run the
undo shutdown
command in the interface view.
–
Check whether an IP address is configured for the interface.
Run the
display current-configuration
interface
interface-type interface-number
command to check the IP address of the interface. If no IP address is configured for the
interface or the configured IP address is on a different network segment from the hosts,
run the
ip address
ip-address
{
mask
|
mask-length
} to reconfigure an IP address for
the interface and ensure that the IP address is on the same network segment with those
of the hosts.
l
If the interface status is Up, go to
Step 3
Check that IGMP is enabled on the interface.
Run the
display current-configuration
interface
interface-type interface-number
command to
check the current configurations of the interface that is directly connected with the hosts.
l
If the command output does not contain
igmp enable
, it indicates that IGMP is not enabled
on the interface. Run the
igmp enable
command in the interface view to enable IGMP.
l
If IGMP has been enabled on the interface, go to
.
Step 4
Check whether the multicast group G of the EXCLUDE message is in the SSM group address
range.
