
Ethernet IGMP Snooping: When Enabled, the switch forwards traffic IGMP packets are transferred via
the Access Point’s network interface and the IP multicast host. Registration information is recorded and
sorted into multicast groups. The internal switch forwards traffic only to those ports that request multicast
traffic. Adversely, without IGMP snooping, multicast traffic is treated like broadcast traffic, with packets
forwarded to all ports causing network inefficiencies.
