Before changing the Huawei network configuration, an engineer investigates: An IPTV VLAN has no functioning IGMP querier and receivers age out despite an active multicast source. Which diagnostic check should be performed first?
Inspect IGMP querier address, query intervals, group timers and receiver reports. This check isolates the suspected cause before an unsafe change. If confirmed, the targeted action is: Restore the supported IGMP querier and membership timers on the receiver-facing L3 segment. Successful verification is: Membership entries remain active for subscribed receivers and disappear after intentional leave or expiry.

This check would diagnose IGMP snooping multicast fanout, but would not first isolate the described IGMP last-hop membership queries. Begin with: Inspect IGMP querier address, query intervals, group timers and receiver reports.

This check would diagnose Multicast reverse-path forwarding, but would not first isolate the described IGMP last-hop membership queries.
