Cisco configs for Multicast Packages when using Vlans on SMs

Greetings,

I would like some assistance on the cisco configs to enable multicast packages to work with vlans.

We have a netwrok in place where-by we configure vlans for clients on the Cisco 1841 router

!
interface FastEthernet0/1.110
 description IPTV-SM
 encapsulation dot1Q 110
 ip address 41.79.230.77 255.255.255.252
 ip pim version 1
 ip pim dense-mode
 no cdp enable
!

and we enable the vlan id on the cisco 3560 switch. The AP and the IPTV Server are on the same switch..

The SM's are given the vlan id's and the /30 ip addresses are configured on the client computer/router/STB.

We have tested the AP and the SM without the vlans whereby we have connected the IPTV Server and the AP on one switch and the STB behind a SM and are able to view the TV Channels. However when we put it on our current setup with vlans we cant seem to get the TV Channels show. We can see from the SM's Monitor > Performance that it is receiving the multicast packages but the TV channels dont show.

Hi Muhsin,

Just few questions to clarify your setup. Does your client computer/router/STB expect tagged or untagged packets? Can you please  also share your SM Vlan settings.

Thanks,

Dmitry

Greetings Dimitry,


My client end expects tagged packets as without the /30 ip addresses the client computer/router/stb it does not connect.


In regards to the SM we simply Enable the Data Vlan and give the vlan id to it.. Configuration > Network > Data Vlan (check the Enable), and the Data VLAN ID.


I have set up a test system with one AP and one SM

AP: 41.75.150.200 username/password: admin/admin

SM: 41.75.150.201 username/password: admin/admin

On the Cisco router we have the following configured for this test vlan.

Current status, without vlans the multicast packages pass well and the TV shows through the AP and the SM.

However when we enable the Vlans on the SM and put in this vlan id 110, and in turn put the /30 ip addresses on the STB the TV channels dont show.
