Before changing the Huawei network configuration, an engineer investigates: A campus access switch still forwards IPTV multicast to non-subscriber desks after VLAN reconfiguration. Which diagnostic check should be performed first?
Inspect snooping table, querier visibility, multicast VLAN membership and egress port counters. This check isolates the suspected cause before an unsafe change. If confirmed, the targeted action is: Enable correct IGMP snooping and validate router-port and receiver-port learning for the multicast VLAN. Successful verification is: The multicast stream reaches subscribed ports but no longer floods uninvolved endpoints.
Compare interface MTU, DD packet MTU fields, and OSPF neighbor transition logs. This check would diagnose OSPF MTU stalls ExStart, but would not first isolate the described IGMP snooping multicast fanout. Begin with: Inspect snooping table, querier visibility, multicast VLAN membership and egress port counters.

This check would diagnose IPv6 DHCPv6 stateful versus stateless, but would not first isolate the described IGMP snooping multicast fanout.

A Huawei Datacom engineer is investigating the following situation: An SSM receiver needs source 10.40.1.10 but sends only an any-source membership because its client uses IGMPv2. Which corrective action best resolves the specified issue?
Use a supported IGMPv3 source-filtering receiver configuration or documented SSM mapping where applicable. Technical basis: IGMPv3 supports source-specific INCLUDE and EXCLUDE membership information for SSM. The measurable acceptance criterion is: The last-hop router records the intended (S,G) membership and only the approved source is delivered.
Enable correct IGMP snooping and validate router-port and receiver-port learning for the multicast VLAN.
