This page documents MikroTik RouterOS bridge features for IGMP/MLD snooping, enabling efficient multicast traffic forwarding by filtering streams to subscribed ports. It covers configuration options for IGMP/MLD versions, querier detection, multicast router states, and monitoring tools to manage multicast database entries.
This page covers troubleshooting for MikroTik RouterOS CHR, addressing IGMP snooping issues on Linux bridges, VLAN-related data flow problems between guests and the outside world, VLAN tagging requirements in hypervisors, and limitations on VMware guest automation.
Group Management Protocol enables interfaces to receive multicast streams without dedicated clients, supporting IGMP and MLD protocols. It allows testing multicast routing by sending membership reports and responding to queries, with automatic cleanup when disabled.
The IGMP Proxy feature in RouterOS enables multicast routing by forwarding IGMP frames, offering a simpler alternative to PIM-SM for certain topologies. It supports basic multicast forwarding with minimal resource usage but lacks support for complex routing setups and loop detection.
This section provides configuration guidance for RouterOS multicast routing protocols including IGMP Proxy, PIM-SM, and group management features to manage multicast traffic flows.
This page introduces IP Multicast and Protocol Independent Multicast - Sparse Mode (PIM-SM) in MikroTik RouterOS, explaining how it enables efficient data sharing across networks. It covers basic PIM-SM configuration for multicast routing between separate interfaces, including interface setup, PIM instance creation, and IGMP integration.
