IGMP Proxy Limitations

  • IGMP Proxy cannot be enabled on the same interface on which PIM SM or PIM DM is enabled.
  • IGMP Proxy is only supported in a PIM Dense environment where there are IGMP clients connected to the RUCKUS device. The RUCKUS device does not send IGMP reports on an IGMP proxy interface for remote clients connected to a PIM neighbor because it is not aware of groups that the remote clients are interested in. Static groups on the other PIM interfaces are included in proxy reports.
  • PIM DM must be enabled in passive mode. This is a change from the previous implementation; to be backward compatible, PIM-DM passive mode is enabled in passive mode indirectly if PIM-DM is not enabled explicitly.
