By configuring an IGMP Snooping version, you actually configure the version of IGMP messages that
IGMP Snooping can process.
z IGMP Snooping version 2 can process IGMPv1 and IGMPv2 messages, but not IGMPv3
messages, which will be flooded in the VLAN.
z IGMP Snooping version 3 can process IGMPv1, IGMPv2 and IGMPv3 messages.

If you switch IGMP Snooping from version 3 to version 2, the system will clear all IGMP Snooping
forwarding entries from dynamic joins, and will:

Snooping is switched back to version 3.
