Chapter 2 IGMP Snooping Configuration
2-12
z
After a port is configured as a simulated member host, the switch responds to
IGMP general queries by sending IGMP reports through that port.
z
When the simulated joining function is disabled on a port, the switch sends an
IGMP leave group message through that port.
Follow these steps to configure simulated joining:

Note:
z
Each simulated host is equivalent to an independent host. For example, when
receiving an IGMP query, the simulated host corresponding to each configuration
responds respectively.
z
The IGMP version of a simulated host is the same as the IGMP Snooping version
current running on the device.
z
Unlike a static member port, a port configured as a simulated member host will age
out like a dynamic member port.
2.4.5 Configuring Fast Leave Processing
The fast leave processing feature allows the switch to process IGMP leave group
messages in a fast way. With the fast leave processing feature enabled, when receiving
an IGMP leave group message on a port, the switch immediately removes that port
from the outgoing port list of the forwarding table entry for the indicated group. Then,
when receiving IGMP group-specific queries for that multicast group, the switch will not
forward them to that port.
In VLANs where only one host is attached to each port, fast leave processing helps
improve bandwidth and resource usage.
