Default IGMP Snooping Configuration
Table 20-3 shows the default IGMP snooping configuration.
Enabling or Disabling IGMP Snooping
By default, IGMP snooping is globally enabled on the switch. When globally enabled or disabled, it is
also enabled or disabled in all existing VLAN interfaces. IGMP snooping is by default enabled on all
VLANs, but can be enabled and disabled on a per-VLAN basis.
Global IGMP snooping overrides the VLAN IGMP snooping. If global snooping is disabled, you cannot
enable VLAN snooping. If global snooping is enabled, you can enable or disable VLAN snooping.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to globally enable IGMP snooping on the
switch:
To globally disable IGMP snooping on all VLAN interfaces, use the no ip igmp snooping global
configuration command.
