Introduction

The purpose of this document is to provide the user with multicast lab topologies to be setup and
configured using Spirent's TeraRouting Tester (TRT)

Prerequisites

Requirements

The following is required prior to starting the labs

• Configure the IP addresses on both SmartBits ports
• Configure the SmatBits interface setting on both ports (speed/duplex)
• Setup the SmatBits source port (Port 1) as Xmit Only
• Setup the SmatBits receiver port (Port 2) as Advertise Only and enable the IGMP protocol
  

Components Used

The following components will be used in the labs

• SmartBits Chassis with 1 TeraMetrics Module (minimum 2 Ethernet ports)
  
• TeraRouting Tester v4.50 (TRT)
• DUT - any router or multi-layer switch with 2 Ethernet port
  

Get Started With Lab #1

Generate a multicast stream and send an IGMPv2 Join

1. Create one IGMPv2 host on the receiver port
2. Create one multicast group, 239.1.1.1, for the IGMPv2 receiver
3. Using the Traffic Wizard, create one traffic stream to generate traffic from the source to the multicast group, 239.1.1.1
4. Send IGMPv2 Reports and Leaves for the multicast group and check the DUT

Get Started With Lab #2

Generate multicast streams and send IGMPv2 Joins for all multicast groups

1. Create two IGMPv2 hosts on the receiver port
2. Create ten multicast groups, 239.1.1.1-10, for both IGMPv2 receivers
3. Using the Traffic Wizard, create one traffic stream to generate traffic from the source to all multicast groups, 239.1.1.1-10
4. Send IGMPv2 Reports and Leaves for all multicast groups and check the DUT

Get Started With Lab #3

Generate a multicast stream and send an IGMPv2 Join

1. Create two IGMPv2 hosts on the receiver port
2. Create one multicast group, 239.1.1.1, for both IGMPv2 receiver
3. Force Receiver-1 to send an IGMPv3 Join for source 192.168.4.3
4. Force Receiver-2 to send an IGMPv3 Join for source 192.168.4.4
5. Using the Traffic Wizard, create one traffic stream to generate traffic from both sources to the multicast group, 239.1.1.1
6. Send IGMPv3 Reports and Leaves for all multicast groups and check the DUT
