RackSwitch G8000: Application Guide

IGMP Snooping Configuration Example

This section provides steps to configure IGMP Snooping on the G8000.
1. Configure port and VLAN membership on the switch.
2. Add VLANs to IGMP Snooping.

3. Enable IGMP Snooping.

4. Enable IGMPv3 Snooping (optional).

5. Enable the IGMP feature.

6. View dynamic IGMP information.

These commands display information about IGMP Groups and Mrouters learned by

the switch.

RS G8000(config)#

ip igmp snoop vlan 1

RS G8000(config)#

ip igmp snoop enable

RS G8000(config)#

ip igmp snoop igmpv3 enable

RS G8000(config)#

ip igmp enable

RS G8000#

show ip igmp groups

Note: Local groups (224.0.0.x) are not snooped/relayed and will not
appear.
