Chapter 21 Configuring IGMP Snooping
Configuring IGMP Snooping
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to globally enable IGMP snooping on the
switch:
To globally disable IGMP snooping on all VLAN interfaces, use the
no ip igmp snooping
global
configuration command.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to enable IGMP snooping on a VLAN interface:
To disable IGMP snooping on a VLAN interface, use the
no ip igmp snooping vlan
vlan-id
global
configuration command for the specified VLAN number
.
Setting the Snooping Method
Multicast-capable router ports are added to the forwarding table for every Layer 2 multicast entry. The
switch learns of such ports through one of these methods:
•
Snooping on IGMP queries, Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) packets, and Distance Vector
Multicast Routing Protocol (DVMRP) packets
•
Listening to Cisco Group Management Protocol (CGMP) packets from other routers
•
Statically connecting to a multicast router port with the
ip igmp snooping mrouter
global
configuration command
You can configure the switch either to snoop on IGMP queries and PIM/DVMRP packets or to listen to
CGMP self-join or proxy-join packets. By default, the switch snoops on PIM/DVMRP packets on all
VLANs. To learn of multicast router ports through only CGMP packets, use the
ip igmp snooping vlan
vlan-id
mrouter learn cgmp
global configuration command. When this command is entered, the router
listens to only CGMP self-join and CGMP proxy-join packets and to no other CGMP packets. To learn
of multicast router ports through only PIM-DVMRP packets, use the
ip igmp snooping vlan
vlan-id
mrouter learn pim-dvmrp
global configuration command.
Command
Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal
Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
ip igmp snooping
Globally enable IGMP snooping in all existing VLAN interfaces.
Step 3
end
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 4
copy running-config startup-config
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
Command
Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal
Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
ip igmp snooping vlan
vlan-id
Enable IGMP snooping on the VLAN interface.The VLAN ID range
is 1 to 1001 and 1006 to 4094.
Note
IGMP snooping must be globally enabled before you can
enable VLAN snooping.
Step 3
end
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 4
copy running-config startup-config
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
