Ports requesting to join a specific Multicast group issue an IGMP report,
specifying that the Multicast group is accepting members. This results in the
creation of the Multicast filtering database.
For IGMP Snooping to work normally, at least one IGMP Query Router, sending
IGMP Host Membership Query messages, must be connected to the network.
To define the IGMP Snooping configuration on the device:
STEP 1 Click Multicast > IGMP Snooping. The
IGMP Snooping Screen
opens.
Figure 94 IGMP Snooping Screen
The
IGMP Snooping

is divided into the following areas:
• IGMP Global
• VLAN IGMP Settings

enabled. The possible field values are:
-
