IGMP Snooping
The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is an internal protocol of the Internet Protocol
(IP) suite. Multicast traffic is propagated through the network using switches, routers, and hosts that
support IGMP and other multicast protocols. Enabling IGMP snooping allows the ports to detect
IGMP queries and report packets and manage IP multicast traffic through the switch. The following
set of commands can be used to configure IGMP snooping.
1. To enable or disable administrative mode of IGMP snooping, use the following command. By
default, the administrative mode of IGMP snooping is disabled.
L2SW> config igmpsnooping adminmode <enable/disable>
L2SW> config igmpsnooping adminmode enable
2. The IGMP snooping query mode can be active, passive or auto. The active query mode is to
enable query mode for group members. The passive query mode is for passive snooping on
IGMP Query/Report. In auto mode, switch performs Query function if there is no other device
in the VLAN, such as a multicast router is available to perform Query requests. The default
value is auto.
L2SW> config igmpsnooping querymode <active/passive/auto>
L2SW> config igmpsnooping querymode passive
3. To display IGMP snooping configuration, use the following command. The table below shows
IGMP snooping parameters such as IGMP snooping mode query mode, query interval time,
max response time and max. IGMP entries.
