Problems with Configuring Switches for Dante



On Multicast / IP Multicast Group Addresses I click on Add and it does not
update the Table.

So I could not add the following;
    Repeat the same operation for addresses
        224.0.0.231
        224.0.0.232
        224.0.0.233
        224.0.1.129 (PTP)
        224.0.0.251 (MDNS)


Bridge Multicast Filtering

Enable Bridge Multicast Filtering to ensure the switch is actually
filtering multicast traffic (some manufacturers have different names
for this). If there is a Forwarding Method setting, select IP Group
Address.

If there is no video equipment, set the switch to Forward Unregistered
Multicast Traffic on all Shure, Dante, and AES67 ports (as opposed to
filtering). This includes the port for your Dante Controller
computer.

If video equipment is present, you will need to Filter Unregistered
Multicast Traffic.

 In this case, you may need to manually add the following multicast
 groups to the switch's Multicast Forwarding Database to ensure the
 traffic makes it to all devices:

    224.0.0.230
    224.0.0.231
    224.0.0.232
    224.0.0.233
    224.0.0.251
    224.0.1.129

Do not enable forwarding of ALL multicast traffic.

Do not enable forwarding of ALL multicast traffic. In general, this
setting should be left to None on Cisco switches to allow the querier
to decide which ports get what groups. If you must uplink the switch
to a larger network for remote management of devices, you may set the
uplink port (only) to Forbidden to prevent multicast traffic from
leaking out of the network. Disable Multicast Storm Control.


Configure IGMP Snooping

    Enable IGMP Snooping (IGMPv2). Enable the IGMP Querier on this
    switch (if using multiple switches, the core switch should be the
    querier). Verify that the switch has an IP Address in the same
    subnet (IP address range) as your Dante/AES67 equipment. Set the
    Querier IP to the same address as the switch, or 0.0.0.0/Auto if
    the switch only has one VLAN. Set the Querier Interval as low as
    it can go, down to about 30 seconds if your switch supports it.
    Enable Fast Leave (Note: Fast Leave is required to support
    video-over-IP devices). See Multicast and IGMP In Depth for more
    details if desired.

Configure QOS

    Set it up to trust the incoming DSCP Values.
    DSCP 56 (CS7) should be set for highest priority. This is for clock traffic.
    DSCP 46 (EF) should be set for second highest priority. This is for audio traffic.
    DSCP 34 (AF41) should be set for third highest priority. This is for video traffic.
    See QOS In Depth for more details and AES67-specific QOS information.


The Last Member Query Interval option is set to 10, when they want it set
to 1000. The range is 1-25.

When I change it to V3 from V2 I get the error "Querier is not self. Cannot Modify"


127.0.0.71 I could not find the download running config option.


On 127.0.0.14 I could not set the SNTP time to sync.


127.0.0.14
The Multicast / IGMP/MLD Snooping IP Multicast group the following was set.
Should it be for all of the ports?

VLAN    Group Address   Source Address  Included Ports  Excluded Ports  Compatibility Mode

Under Multicast / Unregistered Multicast the instructions say " Under
the Multicast menu, select Unregistered Multicast. If you are not
using any Video-over-IP devices, set all to Forwarding." So
considering the Zoom problems, I set all of these to Filtering.


Most of the switches on the Multicast / IGMP/MLD Snooping IP Multicast
Group are set to specific ports rather than all port on that switch.



Picking back up on 06.30.24.

. this is an SG220 and has different pages than the others.
.71 needs to be backed up
.14 needs to be backed up
