show mac-address-table igmpsnooping
This command displays the IGMP Snooping entries in the MFDB table.
IGMP Snooping Querier Commands
IGMP Snooping requires that one central switch or router periodically query all end-devices on the
network to announce their multicast memberships. This central device is the “IGMP Querier”. The
IGMP query responses, known as IGMP reports, keep the switch updated with the current
multicast group membership on a port-by-port basis. If the switch does not receive updated
membership information in a timely fashion, it will stop forwarding multicasts to the port where
the end device is located.
