Configuring SDVoE using the multicast sdvoe Command

The following task enables SDVoE in a network, as illustrated in the Enabling SDVoE using the multicast sdvoe Command figure. Switch 1 and Switch 2 have manually configured edge ports and fast leave is enabled only on these ports. IGMP snooping is enabled in passive mode for Switch 1 and Switch 2. SDVoE is configured for multicast packets in the VLAN. No edge ports are configured for the Querier switch. IGMP snooping is enabled in active mode for the Querier switch so that queries are generated.
Note: Edge-ports should be configured so that fast-leave can be enabled only on these ports.
Note: Querier switches do not need to have edge-ports configured as querier switches are generally used to connect to other switches.
  1. On switch 1, enter global configuration mode.
    Switch-1# configure terminal
  2. Configure a VLAN dedicated to the SDVoE application and add ports to it.
    Switch-1(config)# vlan 11
    Switch-1(config-vlan-11)# tagged ethernet 1/2/6 ethernet 3/2/7 lag 1 
  3. Set the IGMP mode to passive for the VLAN.
    Switch-1(config-vlan-11)# multicast passive
  4. Enable fast leave on edge-ports only.
    Switch-1(config-vlan-11)# multicast fast-leave-v2 edge-ports
  5. Enable SDVoE for multicast packets in the VLAN.
    Switch-1(config-vlan-11)# multicast sdvoe
  6. For the Querier switch, enter global configuration mode.
    Querier# configure terminal
  7. Configure a VLAN dedicated to the SDVoE application and add ports to it.
    Querier(config)# vlan 11
    Querier(config-vlan-11)# tagged lag 1 lag 2
  8. Set the IGMP mode to active.
    Querier(config-vlan-11)# multicast active
  9. Configure the source IPv4 address to be used in every query.
    Querier(config-vlan-11)# multicast querier-address 3.3.3.3
  10. Enable SDVoE for multicast packets.
    Querier(config-vlan-11)# multicast sdvoe
  11. On switch 2, enter global configuration mode.
    Switch-2# configure terminal
  12. Configure a VLAN dedicated to the SDVoE application and add ports to it.
    Switch-2(config)# vlan 11
    Switch-2(config-vlan-11)# tagged ethernet 1/3/4 ethernet 3/3/2 lag 2
  13. Set the IGMP mode to passive for the VLAN.
    Switch-2(config-vlan-11)# multicast passive 
  14. Enable fast leave on edge-ports only.
    Switch-2(config-vlan-11)# multicast fast-leave-v2 edge-ports
  15. Enable SDVoE for multicast packets in the VLAN.
    Switch-2(config-vlan-11)# multicast sdvoe

The following example configures SDVoE in a network using the multicast sdvoe command.

Switch 1:
Switch-1# configure terminal
Switch-1(config)# vlan 11
Switch-1(config-vlan-11)# tagged ethernet 1/2/6 ethernet 3/2/7 lag 1 
Switch-1(config-vlan-11)# multicast passive
Switch-1(config-vlan-11)# multicast fast-leave-v2 edge-ports
Switch-1(config-vlan-11)# multicast sdvoe

Querier Switch:
Querier# configure terminal
Querier(config)# vlan 11
Querier(config-vlan-11)# tagged lag 1 lag 2
Querier(config-vlan-11)# multicast active
Querier(config-vlan-11)# multicast querier-address 3.3.3.3
Querier(config-vlan-11)# multicast sdvoe


Switch 2:
Switch-2# configure terminal
Switch-2(config)# vlan 11
Switch-2(config-vlan-11)# tagged ethernet 1/3/4 ethernet 3/3/2 lag 2
Switch-2(config-vlan-11)# multicast passive
Switch-2(config-vlan-11)# multicast fast-leave-v2 edge-ports
Switch-2(config-vlan-11)# multicast sdvoe
