IGMP Snooping Configuration and Testing Information

RouterOS General
1

What are the commands associated with IGMP snooping? [I’m not looking for full documentation, just some hints would be helpful. Is it applied on a per-bridge, per-port, per interface basis?]

The notes say:
!) bridge - implemented software based “igmp-snooping” (untested, undocumented, CLI only);

I am very excited to test this as I’m in the process of configuring and testing a multicast IPTV system… thank you for implementing this feature. I will do my best to test and report the behaviors I find.

Hello, IGMP Snooping is a per-bridge feature in RouterOS. Here is a sample of how it should look like:

[admin@MikroTik] > /interface bridge set bridge1 igmp-snooping=yes
...
[admin@MikroTik] > /interface bridge mdb print 
BRIDGE              VID GROUP                                        PORTS     
bridge1                 237.0.0.1                                    ether3    
                                                                     ether2    
                                                                     ether1    
bridge1                 238.1.1.1                                    ether2    
                                                                     ether1

v6.40 is scheduled for release, so we reverted hw-offload as well as igmp-snooping, because it requires more testing and bugfixes.
Most likely it will be back in v6.41rc

Ok, I will try to be patient. I’m trying to setup my IPTV service and I am excited that MikroTik is finally implementing IGMP snooping.
