Huawei Technologies Proprietary

Parameter 
enable: Enables IGMP Snooping.  
disable: Disables IGMP Snooping;  
Description 
Use the igmp-snooping enable command to enable IGMP Snooping. 
Use the igmp-snooping disable command to disable IGMP Snooping. 
By default, the switch disables IGMP Snooping.  
 
  Caution:  
z  When configuring IGMP Snooping, first enable global IGMP Snooping in system 
view, and then enable IGMP Snooping in VLAN view. Otherwise the IGMP Snooping 
function will not take effect. 
z  If the VLAN VPN is enabled on a port, the IGMP Snooping feature cannot be 
enabled on the VLAN for the port or the IGMP feature cannot be enabled on the 
corresponding VLAN interface.  
z  If IGMP Snooping feature is enabled on a VLAN, or IGMP is enabled on the VLAN 
interface, you cannot add the member port on which VLAN VPN is enabled into the 
VLAN.  
z  Isolate-user-VLAN supports the IGMP-Snooping function. After IGMP-Snooping is 
enabled under isolate-user-VLAN, all secondary VLANs are IGMP-Snooping 
enabled. It makes no sense to enable IGMP-Snooping for a secondary VLAN.  
z  In a secondary VLAN, IGMP packets will be directly converted and processed in 
isolate-user-VLAN, namely all the multicast services are implemented within 
isolate-user-VLAN.  
z  Ports in secondary VLANs cannot be used as source addresses of multicast.
