.. note::
Controller-0 and controller-1 use IP multicast messaging for
synchronization. If loss of synchronization occurs a few minutes after
controller-1 becomes available, ensure that the switches and other devices
on the management and infrastructure networks are configured with
appropriate settings.
In particular, if |IGMP| snooping is enabled on |ToR| switches, then a
device acting as an |IGMP| querier is required on the network \(on the same
|VLAN|\) to prevent nodes from being dropped from the multicast group. The
|IGMP| querier periodically sends |IGMP| queries to all nodes on the
network, and each node sends an |IGMP| join or report in response. Without
an |IGMP| querier, the nodes do not periodically send |IGMP| join messages
after the initial join sent when the link first goes up, and they are
eventually dropped from the multicast group.
