Cuda 12000 IP Access Switch CLI-based Administration Guide

About IP Multicast 355

If IGMP proxy is enabled for these multicast groups, th e Cuda 12000 joins these groups on the proxy interface. When the remote multicast router sends an IGMP query to the Cuda 12000, the Cuda 12000 replies with IGMP reports for all multicast groups joined by the hosts. Since the remote multicast router knows about the additional multicast groups joined by the hosts, it routes multicast traffic for these groups onto the common Ethernet.When the Cuda 12000 receives this multicast traffic, it forwards the traffic out to all other interfaces that have joined the same multicast group. In the figure, if the remote multicast router receives a packet addressed to 224.17.1.5, it transmits the packet to the common Ethernet. The Cuda 12000 then receives the packet and forwards it to interface 1/2/1 and 1/5/3. PC3 and PC2 receive the multicast packet.
