Configuring IGMP Snooping Parameters
To manage the operation of the IGMP snooping process, you can configure the optional IGMP snooping
parameters described in the following table.
Table 9: IGMP Snooping Parameters
Description
Parameter
Enables IGMP snooping on a per-VLAN basis. The
default is enabled.
If the global setting is disabled, all VLANs
are treated as disabled, whether they are
enabled or not.
Note
IGMP snooping
Tracks IGMPv2 and IPMPv3 membership reports
from individual hosts for each port on a per-VLAN
basis. The default is enabled.
Explicit tracking
Enables the software to remove the group state when
it receives an IGMP Leave report without sending an
IGMP query message. This parameter is used for
IGMPv2 hosts when no more than one host is present
on each VLAN port. The default is disabled.
Fast leave
Sets the interval that the software waits after sending
an IGMP query to verify that no hosts that want to
receive a particular multicast group remain on a
network segment. If no hosts respond before the last
member query interval expires, the software removes
the group from the associated VLAN port. Values
range from 1 to 25 seconds. The default is 1 second.
Last member query interval
Configures a snooping querier on an interface when
there is no multicast router in the VLAN to generate
queries. The default is disabled.
Snooping querier
Limits the membership report traffic sent to
multicast-capable routers. When you disable report
suppression, all IGMP reports are sent as is to
multicast-capable routers. The default is enabled.
Report suppression
Configures a static connection to a multicast router.
The interface to the router must be in the selected
VLAN.
