Configuring IGMP Snooping in MC-LAG Active-Active on MX Series Routers

You can use the bridge-domain statement's service-id option to specify the multichassis aggregated Ethernet configuration.

  • The service-id statement is mandatory for non-single VLAN type bridge domains (none, all or vlan-id-tags:dual).
  • The statement is optional for bridge domains with a VID defined.
  • If no service-id is defined in the latter case, it is picked up from the round-trip time’s (RTT's) service-id configuration.
  • The bridge-level service-id is required to link related bridge domains across peers, and should be configured with the same value.
  • The service-id values share the name space across all bridging and routing instances, and across peers. Thus, duplicate service-id values are not permitted across these entities.
  • A change of bridge service-id is considered catastrophic, and the bridge domain is changed.

This procedure allows you to enable or disable the replication feature.

To configure IGMP snooping in active-standby mode:

  • Use the multichassis-lag-replicate-state statement at the multicast-snooping-options hierarchy level in the master instance.
    multicast-snooping-options {...multichassis-lag-replicate-state; # REQUIRED}

The interchassis link, interface icl-intf-name, of the learning domain should be a router-facing interface.

  • Use the interface icl-intf-name statement at the protocols igmp-snooping hierarchy level, as shown in the following example:
    protocols {igmp-snooping {interface icl-intf-name {multicast-router-interface;}}}
