Re: [c-nsp] Multicast within VLAN on Nexus7K over vPC
Any of #1,#2,#3 will work. Assuming you don't want/need this multicast traffic routed, and assuming the receivers are all sending IGMP joins, #1 is the best option: configure a snooping querier under 'vlan 100 config' on both VPC peers. #2 is the next best option, or of course required if you want to also L3 multicast route this traffic. Hope that helps, Tim At 03:27 AM 10/20/2016 Thursday, Yham asserted: Hi All, I have two cisco nexus 7K as core switches and two cisco 4500 as distribution/access switches.
