Description This article describes how to fix the multicast traffic after a failover.
Scope FortiGate before FortiOS 7.2.10
Solution

After an FGCP HA failover, it is possible that some multicast streams in an environment will not recover natively.

In this case, the PIM group table is only populated with (*,G) group entries even if the source should be known and the FortiGate is the First Hop Router.

 

This command will display the multicast groups:

 

get router info multicast pim sparse-mode table

 

If the multicast streams are not OK after the failover and many (*,G) entries are listed from the previous command, use the following command (VDOM level) to restore the traffic:

 

diagnose ip multicast mfc-flush

 

This will flush all multicast routes:

 

This command should be run during a maintenance window to avoid any disturbance for the current traffic.
