IGMP Snooping – IGMP Snooping (page 542) is a key part of the overall set of
functions required to support multicast filtering. It is used to passively monitor
IGMP service requests from multicast clients, and dynamically configure the switch
ports which need to forward multicast traffic.
IGMP Query – Multicast query is used to poll each known multicast group for active
members, and dynamically configure the switch ports which need to forward
