6.2.5  Configuring IGMP Proxy 
I. Configure IGMP Proxy 
You can configure IGMP proxy to reduce the workload of configuration and 
management of leaf networks without affecting the multicast connections of the leaf 
network.  
After the configuration of IGMP Proxy on the Layer 3 switch of the leaf network, the leaf 
Layer 3 switch is just a host for the external network. Only when the Layer 3 switch has 
directly connected members, can it receive the multicast data of corresponding groups.
