Before changing the Huawei network configuration, an engineer investigates: A campus multicast stream disappears after a routing change even though IGMP receiver membership is still present. Which diagnostic check should be performed first?
Inspect multicast route incoming interface, unicast route toward source, and RPF fail counters. This check isolates the suspected cause before an unsafe change. If confirmed, the targeted action is: Correct the unicast or multicast RPF topology so the accepted packet arrives on the expected upstream interface. Successful verification is: The receiver obtains group traffic and multicast RPF checks succeed without forwarding loops.
Inspect IGMP version, receiver reports, group address and installed source list. This check would diagnose IGMPv3 source-specific membership, but would not first isolate the described Multicast reverse-path forwarding. Begin with: Inspect multicast route incoming interface, unicast route toward source, and RPF fail counters.
Review CSS roles, health of inter-chassis paths, redundancy alarms and test traffic during failover. This check would diagnose CSS chassis clustering and failover, but would not first isolate the described Multicast reverse-path forwarding. Begin with: Inspect multicast route incoming interface, unicast route toward source, and RPF fail counters.
Inspect PIM DR, Register and Register-Stop events, RP reachability and (S,G) state. This check would diagnose PIM first-hop source registration, but would not first isolate the described Multicast reverse-path forwarding. Begin with: Inspect multicast route incoming interface, unicast route toward source, and RPF fail counters.
A Huawei Datacom engineer is investigating the following situation: A lab receiver joins a group but later loses the stream because the last-hop router stops sending IGMP General Queries. Which corrective action best resolves the specified issue?
Restore the supported IGMP querier and membership timers on the receiver-facing L3 segment. Technical basis: IGMP uses group membership messages and queries to maintain last-hop receiver state. The measurable acceptance criterion is: Membership entries remain active for subscribed receivers and disappear after intentional leave or expiry.
Validate supported CSS inter-chassis links, roles, redundancy and a controlled master-failover test. This is a legitimate response to the different issue of CSS chassis clustering and failover, but it does not correct the specific IGMP last-hop membership queries condition reported. The relevant technical distinction is: IGMP uses group membership messages and queries to maintain last-hop receiver state.
Restore the approved first-hop PIM DR and source Register path toward the RP. This is a legitimate response to the different issue of PIM first-hop source registration, but it does not correct the specific IGMP last-hop membership queries condition reported. The relevant technical distinction is: IGMP uses group membership messages and queries to maintain last-hop receiver state.
Use a supported IGMPv3 source-filtering receiver configuration or documented SSM mapping where applicable. This is a legitimate response to the different issue of IGMPv3 source-specific membership, but it does not correct the specific IGMP last-hop membership queries condition reported. The relevant technical distinction is: IGMP uses group membership messages and queries to maintain last-hop receiver state.
A team is validating a Huawei network repair: A lab receiver joins a group but later loses the stream because the last-hop router stops sending IGMP General Queries. Which observable result provides the clearest evidence of success?
Membership entries remain active for subscribed receivers and disappear after intentional leave or expiry.

This is explained by: IGMP uses group membership messages and queries to maintain last-hop receiver state.
An authorized failover moves the alternate link to forwarding without creating a loop. That observation would support a separate case of RSTP alternate port failover, not verification of the reported IGMP last-hop membership queries. The relevant observable outcome here is: Membership entries remain active for subscribed receivers and disappear after intentional leave or expiry.
The last-hop router records the intended (S,G) membership and only the approved source is delivered. That observation would support a separate case of IGMPv3 source-specific membership, not verification of the reported IGMP last-hop membership queries. The relevant observable outcome here is: Membership entries remain active for subscribed receivers and disappear after intentional leave or expiry.
Interfaces with subscribers retain multicast forwarding while pruned branches do not receive sustained data. That observation would support a separate case of PIM-DM flood and prune behavior, not verification of the reported IGMP last-hop membership queries. The relevant observable outcome here is: Membership entries remain active for subscribed receivers and disappear after intentional leave or expiry.

Mitigate it through: Restore the supported IGMP querier and membership timers on the receiver-facing L3 segment. Then test: Membership entries remain active for subscribed receivers and disappear after intentional leave or expiry.

The measurable acceptance criterion is: Membership entries remain active for subscribed receivers and disappear after intentional leave or expiry.
Enable correct IGMP snooping and validate router-port and receiver-port learning for the multicast VLAN. This is a legitimate response to the different issue of IGMP snooping multicast fanout, but it does not correct the specific IGMP last-hop membership queries condition reported. The relevant technical distinction is: IGMP uses group membership messages and queries to maintain last-hop receiver state.
Honor stub-area restrictions and use the ABR default route or redesign the area type for required imports. This is a legitimate response to the different issue of OSPF stub area external LSA constraint, but it does not correct the specific IGMP last-hop membership queries condition reported. The relevant technical distinction is: IGMP uses group membership messages and queries to maintain last-hop receiver state.
Restore consistent MST region definitions or explicitly design a safe boundary between distinct regions. This is a legitimate response to the different issue of MSTP region mismatch on trunks, but it does not correct the specific IGMP last-hop membership queries condition reported.
