Hi

they are all in one vlan but not the default, do i need to enable IGMP-snooping global or on that vlan?

i can push smoe channels till 70mbps but after that i lose the conectivity between STBs, servers and digital managment source

Thanks
MS

Whichever VLAN has the clients and multicast source need IGMP snooping.

I'd limit the stream's bitrate if I were you - you'll never need 70mbps. HD only uses around 4Mbps streams.

really appreciate your help, and forgive my ignorance,
it looks i lose connetivity on the core switch 4800. both server and streaming source are connected to the same switch, server nic is 100mps, it looks like streaming souce is flodding the core with traffic! 4Mbps X100 channels =400 Mbps

Thanks Again Carigback

If flooding is occuring, check that IGMP snooping is actually enabled.
