Configuring IGMP Snooping Querier
Use this page to configure the global
snooping querier settings on the device. 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. When Layer 3 IP multicast routing
protocols are enabled in a network with IP multicast routing, the IP multicast router acts as the IGMP
querier. However, if the IP-multicast traffic in a VLAN needs to be Layer 2 switched only, an IP-multicast
router is not required. The IGMP snooping querier can perform the IGMP snooping functions on the
VLAN.
