Question about show multicast

Post by dolan23 »

Hello to all

My question is about how to verify that the ip multicast is performing some function on the 6450 switches. I am in the process of switching a 6450 device to a different vendor device.
I don't know very well how the 6450 works and it has some multicast lines configured that I don't know if they are performing any function.

Code: Select all

! IPMS :
ip multicast status enable
ip multicast querying enable
ip multicast proxying enable
I wanted to see if you know with what command you can check if it is doing any function in the switch 6450 to see if it is necessary to homologate it in the new equipment or not, or on the contrary simply omit it in the new configuration.
Any idea is welcome, thanks

show ip multicast querier -> shows who is the querier in every vlan. If there is the 6450 than it can be necessary. You need at least one querier per vlan in your network.
proxy is not important.
I recoment to enable multicast in every network (first line).

Thanks for your help. Some time ago I left only the first line and everything is still working the same.
