H3C S3600 Series Ethernet Switches-Release 1510 Chapter 2 IGMP Snooping Configuration
2-6
Caution:
An IGMP-Snooping-enabled S3600 Ethernet switch judges whether the multicast
group exists when it receives an IGMP leave packet sent by a host in a multicast group.
If this multicast group does not exist, the switch will drop the IGMP leave packet instead
of forwarding it.
