Why can't I enable multicast on ICX 7250

[Anonymous]

We are using the ICX 7250 switch in combination with data diodes and for that reason we need multicast to be enabled. But when I enable the multicast via the web interface of the ICX 7250, it disables itself after applying. Is there a trick or firmware update needed ?

Hi Sven,

Are you doing L2 Multicast ( Igmp snooping) or L3 Multicast (PIM, IGMP/MLD) ? 

Please post 'show version' o/p from the switch here.



Thanks

We are doing plane multicast. Since the data has to go through a data diode, IGMP snooping needs to be disabled. I will check on the version.

Hi Sven,

Pls upgrade to 8070g and redo the test.


Thanks
